So earlier this evening I got dragged along to a contradance, but when we got there I decided to just stay in the car. I had some music on soundcloud and I kept repeating it; I played shopping cart hero and angry gran. I got tired of that music after a little while and I moved on to listening to The Tree by Klippa. That got me into a really calm mood and eventually I just opened up a game called Naught and listened to the main menu music, put down the iPhone and stared at nothing. In just a couple of minutes, I was more relaxed than I've been so far this year and infinitely patient.
It only lasted for so long, of course, but I'm still feeling absolutely calm.
Anyone had any similar experiences?
