Tai Chi helps me calm down and breaks negativity.

Listening to music can help, taking a walk, making sure I drink enough water. If music doesn’t help, maybe a show or video as background noise while doing something like cooking or chores, so that your brain doesn’t feel empty. At least for me it help prevent thoughts from spawning (some of the time.)

Deep breathing and meditation work for some, or repeating affirmations out loud. It helps to try different things and eventually you’ll find something that works for you.

This is a link to an article for different grounding techniques, hopefully I can help you find one that works for you or at least options to explore and cross out: healthline.com/health/groun...

Going out to do something with a group of people works for me.
