Playing capoeira or doing any exercise! What a stress buffer.
Research shows that those who exercise often show less emotional reactivity to stress. 
@432HZPositiveVibes
That sounds amazing, Vibes! I haven't tried capoeira yet, though I completely agree with that research! Any form of exercise can be a great stress reliever.
@VickyP
Very true, just gotta find the one that you vibe with ^_^
Totally recommend trying or at least watching capoeira once!

Running! Even if it is just for a couple minutes. It helps my body refresh and really evaluate what my situation is.
@Youareworthy1781 Yay you're here!

@VickyP I have a few but mostly reading. It let's me forget about everything for awhile and emerge into another world. I find writing helps to. Puts all those thoughts on paper and get them out of my head.
@Goldcherry2113
Books are a uniquely portable magic.💗 I love that feeling of losing myself in a good book. It's great to hear that reading and writing calms your anxiety.

Writing in my prayer journal is helpful for me. It also helps me to reflect back on how I've made it through previous challenging times. I also love running, walking, and meditating.
