I do the same thing usually (as the list) and also have time added into it. Like first I will listen to music for 15 min, if that doesn't help some take a shower for at least 15 min, if that doesn't work watch tv for at least a half hour to an hour, if that doesn't work I can squeeze an ice cube, if that doesn't ease me I have to call one of my friends and talk for at least a half hour with them, if that doesn't work ... I try to come up with more requirments.

Hope that gives you some ideas.

Hang in there
