   ▪    Run your face , arm or leg under ice water 




 If you are feeling numb , try : 




  •  Put elastic bands on wrists , arms or legs and flick them 


   ▪    Journaling your emotions 


  •   Writing negative emotions on a piece of paper and ripping it up 


  •   Talking to a friend (or listener on 7 Cups)




 If you desire to express your emotions , try :




  •   Creating artwork ( you could integrate helpful alternative thoughts as a part of the artwork )


   ▪   Hitting a punchingbag 


  •   Going for a vigrous walk or run

I personally found it helpful to mix up grean peas with Red bean and sorts them out one by one, xD
