Calming Methods

Hey everyone!

I hope everybody is doing alright. I was just wondering if anybody has any tips for calming yourself down in public whenever you feel like doing a compulsion? I have been trying essential oils, but I was just wondering what other tricks people might have?

Thanks so much!
