Especially during the holidays: if your space is too full of people to withdraw for some quiet, a combat withdrawal to headphone world and an active task like cooking or cleaning can still help. And, you'll have something to show for it in the end.

I just made lasagna and washed a bunch of dishes for my host. I needed some distance, I got at least a bit, and we will eat better now for a day. #selfcare #usingskills #combatwithdrawal #lifehack
