Spending time on domestic pursuits eases anxiety. Shop for special ingredients to prepare your favourite dish. Peeling vegetables, measuring spices and seasoning different components will be soothing. A nagging problem that has been weighing on your mind will cease to annoy you. That's because physical activities like cooking shift the focus from your brain to your body. If you don't like to make food, engage in a tactile hobby that pleases you, like gardening, knitting or woodwork. Keep your hands busy.
