One Quick Way to Calm Down: Tetris

Hi BoTs,

A few weeks ago, I was reading a parenting board on Reddit and a mom posted that she had almost accidentally dropped her newborn (but she didn't - everyone is fine). It did scare her tho, and the mom was spiraling thinking of the what-ifs and wanted help moving past it.

Folks were giving advice in the comments, like this:

I was so surprised to see how many people recommended playing Tetris; and that it is an actual clinical technique to calm yourself down…who know?

Here’s a study that supports it.

Anyway, the next time I was stressed, I found a way to play Tetris free online here, and I fell back to sleep so easy.

Hope that helps!
