I like making herbal hair masks when I’m feeling stressed—it helps me relax and focus on something simple. I found some cool ideas and info at https://secrets.shop/blogs/learn-the-herbs/mediterranean-traditional-practices-for-healthy-hair that made the whole thing more fun. Mixing ingredients and massaging them into my scalp is weirdly calming. Plus, my hair ends up soft, which is a nice bonus.
i love writing down in like a notebook about my thoughts to get them out, or do a freewrite with a time limit so that way im only focused on getting things out of my head, i also love to sing bc for some reason why im in pain or i like am rlly stressed, the first thing i do is sing a random song ik, once i sung "one last time-"
