Time to relax!

• “Like, really. Scream at the top of your lungs and dance naked while you can. Look to your left and look to your right; notice there is no one there.

• “There’s a fine art to watching a horror movie. Some people are able to respond to every aspect viscerally—talking the characters through tense scenes, freaking out and standing on the couch when the shit hits the fan—in a way that’s charming. It underlines the film’s quality. Other people don’t seem to get it.” – Good dog ruins horror movie

Some of the tried-and-true strategies I’ve picked up: Go for a run, call my mom, play my guitar, write in my journal. My latest go-to strategy: watch HGTV. Stressful day at work? That calls for some Flip or Flop.” – HGTV Is so Relaxing, It Actually Helps My Anxiety
