6 Amazing Ways To Stop Crying When You’re Really Low!
Ok, so someone asked social media for what they think would be good ways to stop sobbing when she was stressed and exhausted and had some rough experiences. Actually, she was afraid she would cry during a daunting meeting for a job:
1. Mirror power: “Go into the bathroom, into a stall if you need to and stand for 3 minutes with your hands on your hips, legs apart a bit and chin up. Just stand there like that for 3 minutes- not enough time to explain but this will decrease certain stress hormones. Trust me. It’s science.”
2. Sip suping: “Sometimes when you feel tears welling up, sipping a drink can help stave them off. Since you said it’s a lunch meeting, that should actually work pretty well.”
3. Math Mask: “Try math. I find doing equations in my head helps me when I am overly emotional.”
4. Puppy Power: “I always just think of something really happy, like a bunch of puppies running around in a field under rainbows or something like that.”
5. Tetris Tenaciousness: “I play tetris in my head (focusing to remember where the blocks are really helps). I started this when a coworker told me she goes through all the steps to bake a cake to stop crying.”
6. Thumb warrior: “Pinch the area next to your thumb. Or stab it with a nail (your nail).”
