My aunt in Portland told me to just sit in my car for 10 minutes after a rough shift and it actually works
Had a garbage Tuesday with two broken glasses and a nasty customer, so I tried her trick in the bar parking lot, watched the rain hit the windshield, and walked into my apartment way calmer than usual, does anyone else have a weird little reset ritual like that?
Sitting in your car for 10 minutes is not some magic trick, it is just giving yourself time to calm down before you go inside. The rain and the quiet probably helped more than the parking lot itself. You had a rough shift, so of course you felt better after a few minutes of doing nothing. Most people would feel the same way. Call it a reset if you want, but it is really just a break.
