Finding Peace in a Crowded City Creating a Sound-Proof Room Silence as Self-Care

Step 1: Learn to recognize the sounds that drive you mad: car honking, people yelling, your aunt at family gatherings.

Step 2: Find a quiet place to hide: a library, a coffee shop with a decent pour-over, or a cardboard box in an alleyway.

Step 3: Create a plan to avoid said sounds: earplugs, noise-cancelling headphones, or just give up on human interaction and live on a deserted island.

Step 4: Practice the art of ignoring the sounds that make you want to scream: deep breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, or just pretend you're a statue.

Disclaimer: Silence may not be 100% effective in curing depression. Consult a professional before making any drastic changes in your life.

Or, you know, just pretend you did.
