I love this so much. Thank you for sharing. How cute is the snail in your picture?! I have anxiety and OCD, and I have to get out of my head A LOT. Those quick tips you mentioned are things that really do work for me. I think something else that helps is doing something that really engages your brain. Like a Sudoku puzzle, cooking a new recipe, etc. Such a wonderful article!

Good call on the brain engagement piece. Anything that involves creating with your hands is great too (like your cooking example). my fav version of that is making a bouquet at home

I had spent the night at my buddies place back when I used to only visit sf and not live there. He and I went out to a karaoke bar that allowed smoking (he lived in Japan town) and had a late night. The next morning, I was hungover, tired and in need of my sunglasses. As I approached my car, I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was covered. I had parked it under a tree but missed the sign that it was the diarrhea tree for all the neighborhood birds. I sat in the car, in full disbelief. Ran the windshield wipers for a few solid minutes while I stripped the poo from the front and shamefully drove it back to San Jose, My now black white and red little bmw. What good luck I’ve had since then.
