Pls Daemon’s comment about baby baelon being “Heir for a day” was so out of pocket I literally gasped

I was talking to my therapist about some anxiety symptoms --- "In my mind, I know I'm going to be perfectly okay, but my body doesn't listen and reacts anyway" --- and she recommended TIPP as strategies to keep in my toolbox of dealing with distress in the moment. I really appreciate having more than one option to try in moments of overwhelm!

Transcription below:

If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or other strong emotions, TIPP is a set of techniques that use the body's natural physical responses to bring you back into balance.

TIPP stands for

temperature

intense exercise

paced breathing

progressive muscle relaxation

Temperature:

The body naturally lowers its heart rate in response to cold. If anxiety is making your heart race, try an ice pack, a cool washcloth, or a walk outside in cool weather, and it should help you calm down.

Intense exercise:

Anxiety is typically a symptom of your body going into fight/flight mode. If your body is coursing with nervous energy, burn it off with 10 minutes of jumping jacks, dancing, climbing stairs, or another cardio activity to complete the stress response cycle.

Paced breathing:

Deep, slow breathing from the belly can also help signal the body to come out of fight/flight mode. Try inhaling for a count of four and exhaling for a count of six until you feel more relaxed. (I like to hold the breath for a count of two between each inhale and exhale.)

Progressive muscle relaxation:

If anxiety makes your body tense up, try this. Start by squeezing the muscles in your toes and feet for five seconds, and then intentionally relax them. Move up to the calves, up your legs, and every region of your body to purposefully let go of extra energy.

When you're feeling overwhelmed, try one or more of these to see what works for you.

Not sure who needs to here this.

But you can format Google Docs so you don't have to hit the enter button all over again when you go to Ao3. And don't risk giving potential readers a headache because we can't read paragraph blocks.

What you want to do is on desktop go under Format to line and paragraph spacing and then change the number from whatever it is set at (usually 1.15) to Single. (I'm not sure what this changes going over to Ao3 but this was how I taught it).

And then after that go back again to Format and line and paragraph spacing. But this time hit add space after paragraph.

And now when you paste it over to Ao3 all you have to worry about is adding a scene break.

There is a way to do it on Word but I'm not sure how.

If there is a way to do this on Mobile IDK.

Follow the cabbage’s order 💧
