Self soothe ideas

Hi, i wanted to get inputs on how do you self soothe when you are feeling low/ having a tough day or may be on the days when you feel demotivated.

What you have tried and worked for you- i am all ears.

I'm hyperactive and prone to overthink so my goto most often is just going for a walk or gentle run to chilled or ambient music.

After having countless ups and downs, I can believe it when I say to myself that "it's temporary," "it will pass (it always has)," or "I'm safe enough." These are more in the context of feeling anxiety or pain.

When it comes to low/unmotivated days, I find it helpful to lean into it, trusting that my body is letting me know that it needs a break, and that I can try again tomorrow.
