Need for Control
Strategies:
Play a video game
There is such a wide diversity of video games out there. Calming exploratory games, puzzle games, combat, story, single or multiplayer, etc. Once I get in touch with the need that is alive in me it’s fun to look for a game or game genre that might tend specifically to that.
Road trip
Long or short it doesn't matter. Drive around the block in silence or with music. Maybe plan a trip somewhere.
Schedule your day
Consider using pictures if lists are unhelpful. Could draw them or print them. It's not perfect but having some kind of a plan can help me
Sing
Find a private place to sing as loud as you’re comfortable. Sing with your favorite song in the car or if you play an instrument you could play a song you know. Search for a hymn online and sing that.
