Yes! Often, if I’m feeling pent up anxiety, it’s because I’ve spent too long being inactive. Doing something strenuous, whether it be an fun active excursion, or just some chores around the house to the point of exhaustion, eases my mind. Movement is so important for mental health.
Onigiri! (Rice balls.) My favorite type is tuna, and they’re a great way to use leftover rice. If you’re very lazy like me, you can even skip the whole ball aspect. Just dollop tuna w/ mayo on some rice, cut up some nori over the top (or sprinkle furikake), and you’re done!
Washing my face! Sometimes something as simple as some refreshing skincare, and maybe a little something extra - like a scrub or sheet mask, makes me feel calmer and relaxed. Paired with a warm drink like tea or coffee, this usually helps soothe me when I’m anxious.
That sounds delicious! I will definitely have to try some of those additions.
