I used to do this before but found that it took too long for it to "drain away." Usually it happens to me in meetings at work and I really need to be good by then.
Comedy was my go-to strategy since it would get everyone relaxed and positive and I in turn become relaxed and positive.
Thankfully, I've been dealing with this long enough to know that it will pass and that it's self-induced. Knowing the triggers, I can already guard myself.
