Today on the blog, we will be talking about regulation is all about getting yourself to a place where you’re calm again and not feeling down or feeling way too up. Below you’ll have 3 tips you can try while sitting at your desk!
#1: Work On Your Breathing
The first big step is to take a big breath through your nose and then blow it out through your mouth. You’re going to want to do that at least five times. So that’s the first trick, just deep breathing.
#2: Engage Your Senses
The next possible way to calm down is just engaging different senses. So one person might want to take a little chocolate, a little peppermint, pop it in their mouth, and just savor it, and just sort of taste the taste and feel the roundness or the smoothness. Whatever is going on. You can also do something like have a bracelet that’s has essential oils on it, you can also just do your wrist, and give it a sniff and engage your olfactory senses. That helps you, and that helps you get calm.
#3: “Fidget & Focus”
The final option, although there are many other options out there, is to simply find something to fidget with and focus your there. For example, one of our team members uses a little fidget cube that has all different sides with things to do. If you’re focusing on that, you’re less likely to focus on the things that are troubling you, and it gets you to a point of focus and it makes you feel comfortable. You don’t have to have a certain object, you could simply have a click pen and be clicking it or tap a pencil on the desk. There are so many options, you just got to keep your mind occupied.
