Methodical rituals that calm you down.
For some reason, when I'm at work and feel to stressed out to actually do something productive, I head for the coffee machine and make myself a nice cup of generic coffee (2 creams/2 sugars), which I then proceed to NOT drink. I just bring it to my desk and let it sit there. I'll occasionally pick it up, maybe even smell it, but then I'll just put it back down. I throw it away when it gets too cold. I even do this in the summertime.
If there's tea, then my ritual goes on even longer, what with the fusion process involved, which I calculate methodically.
I don't know why I do this, but it calms me. It all started when I was a college freshman... I'd bring coffees to class, exams, the library... It baffles me and yet I can't stop doing it.
Anyone else have these weird little habits/rituals to calm down or otherwise occupy time?
