Depending on the situation of coarse, I might use different things/tactics to comfort me or allow me to relax. If i'm stressed or angry, I take deep breaths and just slow down. If i'm able to, I also might get my record player going, light incense and lye down. If I am sad, I would most likely just hang out with my dogs and watch a movie or something, because movies are great. A lot of the time I will simply go to sleep if I can; and that is for almost any situation. I am constantly listening to music as well, and I can pretty much use it in any situation to comfort me. It can get me into any mood I need it to, depending on what kind of music I play. And food. Food can always make me happy. Sometimes when i'm eating, I start dancing. Something else I really think helps is to right down whatever i'm feeling and then putting it away to never see again. Combining and mixing up some of these comforts usually get me back up and going.
Or I just sit like this and think about life.
