When I'm stressed, I like to soak a washing cloth in hot water and then press it on my face with both hands, covering eyes and nose and slowly and deeply breathe through it. I don't know why I find almost waterboarding myself comforting but it's incredibly relaxing.
Also, lying on the floor in the middle of my apartment.
Lying on the floor is my brains MOST comfortable position. If I'm super sick I prefer resting on the floor over my bed.
This feels like when I just sit on the shower floor with the water hitting me in the face, or covering my ears and the water sounds like heavy rain on my head
