Try: Mixing A Nature Soundtrack
I like Moodil because you can wait for the bad weather in your head to pass by creating your own mood-perfect nature soundtrack.
I tend to like the meadow nighttime sounds (as shown by the moon and stars) along with a calm fire and thunderstorm. But who cares what I like? Experiment your way into a relaxed background while cooking, working, or falling asleep.
I use the desktop version but Moodil is an app, so it's meant to be used on phones.
If this experiment works for you, hit the heart (no login required) to let others know they should give it a try!
Try: Spritzing!
About a year ago, a friend gave me a fancy makeup gift that included this great "mist" that prepares fancy people's skin for fancy makeup. Since I am neither fancy nor a makeup person (unless forced, like a little boy in a Sunday suit), I ended using the mist more than everything else. I realized the cooling feeling of water on my skin along with the gentle smells would distract and change my thinking. It's almost like a mental Pavlovian trick. You don't need to buy this mist to get it to work. I bet even rosewater in a little spray bottle would work.
