“I usually go outside, and kind of just sit there, and just either play with my dogs or, basically, pet my horse. … And, I guess, that just soothes me. So, yes, that’s what I do.”
“I like watching old Pixar movies or, like, childhood movies, ’cause that helps me calm down. So, I’ll usually just do that and get some food.”
“I think my biggest vice is eating hot Cheetos, or eating snack foods, or being irresponsible with money. I guess, another thing I do is just, like, use YouTube as an escapism, and I just watch a lot of manifestation videos. That’s literally what I do when I’m stressed.”
“To relax, I usually put on a movie, and have, like, a little movie night to myself. So, I would feel like I know I am here, but I am in a different world.”
“Usually, I like to go on walks and put music on. It just helps me take my mind off of what I’m stressed about.”
