Virtual Sensory Room
You can think of this like picking calming tools up off of a shelf in a virtual sensory room.
I compiled this room from a variety of deep online searches in order to provide a comprehensive experience with the best resources I could find. If the list seems overwhelming, I encourage you to scroll and randomly pick one. They are all equally great, so it does not matter where you start!
Wear headphones for this next one:

Virtual Bubble Wrap
This one expands the popped bubble into a set of four more bubbles in a grid.

Bubble Wrap Party
This one is in the format of a game; however, I found it more satisfying because it allows you to press your keyboard keys to pop the bubbles. You can reduce your stress while slamming your keyboard. (insert cheesy smile here)
Hacker Typer
Have you ever wanted to look like a hacker in a movie??? This site allows you to click random keyboard keys and generate fake hacking code. It is great for when I just want to slam a bunch of keys… or to scare away someone who is peaking at your screen.

MyRetroTVs
I grew up watching older television shows on tv on Saturdays or late at night on MeTV. I find this type of television super calming. On this site you can watch tv from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80, 90s, and 2000s.
