With all the bad stuff that's happened in the past, all the bad stuff going on in the present, and the forecast being full of terrible stuff in the future, now's a great time to look for new ways to get through all the bullshit. What are your weird, unconventional, or non-traditional ways for coping with things when times get tough?

Whenever I remember something bad my head snaps 90 degrees left to the right and I mumble some random nonsense that makes no sense. Completely involuntary but you can't argue with results.

I think it helps the my brain reset and forget about either the incoming doom of climate change or alternatively when I mispronounced a word while giving a speech and felt embarrassed.
