Are you anything like me and find it so hard to slow your mind down enough to sit still?
From brainteasers, to fidgets, to even jigsaw puzzles, what do you do to slow your mind down and help your deal with anxious situations? And what is your favourite fidget?
There has been some interest in my collection of brain teasers and fidgets and so it was about time we started a thread!

@Jynx it's like when you accidentally tread on a paw even if it's lightly and you start apologising profusely. It just makes you feel so guilty for hurting them, then they need all the cuddles in the world 😂.
Ooohh the candles sound good enough to eat 😂. I'm doing ok, slightly overwhelmed but colouring to calm myself down ☺️.

@Jynx haha yes, when Casper gives me the puppy eyes when I'm eating something he can't have and I'm just like sorry buddy but you can't have this 😂.
Indeed they do, unconditional love that's for sure ❤️
