        @avantgame I close my eyes, stand on one foot, and do deep breathing. Harder than it sounds but feels great. Nice way to get centered.

        @avantgame play with a kendama. Extremely simple, motivating, fun and rewarding. It's also a "light" physical activity, so it pumps you up.

        @avantgame Close eyes, breath in (hold), silence thoughts for 1 sec (like you're pulling back a sling shot). Reverse steps and think "Go!"
