■Yoga poses
■Get up a doing something else like folding laundry with awareness
■Create a tiny bit of order around you
■Watch a relaxing or funny video
■5 minute relaxation technique
■Think about being in a bubble bath, a hammock or on a beach
■Massage your shoulders or have someone do it for you
■Check in with yourself – what do you need?
■Hug someone
■Close your eyes and do nothing
■Listen to one song without doing anything else
■Watch birds
■Rub your feet
