1Get this bottled up energy out. Rip up paper, scream into a pillow, yank grass out of its roots, throw around a stuffed animal, etc. Do it all in order if you have too, it gets that itch from crawling under your skin like an insipid snake.

2Distract your body. Get a cup and fill it up with ice cubes, then, one by one, grip each cube in your hands until you feel you`ve had enough. While doing this, think of the longest words in your head and add up their syllables. After about five minutes, you should feel slightly better.

3Lay Down. It is better if you do this on the floor. Put on some music, and place your hands on your stomach. Let your stomach rise and fall gently along with your breathing. Sing if you feel the urge. Wiggle your toes and fingers, and be aware of them moving to your every command, remind yourself that your in control.

4If you can, jot down what you feel, even if it is just a few words.

5Refresh yourself. Take a shower, scrub off all of the pain and stress, or drink a large glass of cold water. Water has healing powers, use it to your best advantage. Feel muggy and ill? Mix salt and water together and wait 30 seconds. Get a rag and soak it in for a minute, then rub the rag on your skin and the walls of your house. Within seconds you should feel the difference.

6Indulge in what you enjoy doing. Play the piano, sketch a bit, write a poem, whatever you like. Watch a cartoon and smile at the innocence of it. Call a friend or look up some jokes on the Internet. Distract yourself.

7Talk about it. Grab your Teddy Bear and pour out your emotions. Cry to your goldfish. Try speaking with a friend.
