Six Short Decompression Tips

A peak experience like Alchemy can put you in a strange state of mind. Like a diver coming up to the surface after being under water, you want to take care how quickly you enter back into the default world. Here are a few quick tips.

1. Self Care!

Take a shower, hippie. Or two. You need it. Eat some healthy food. AND GET SOME SLEEP!

2. Breathe.

Take a moment of quiet reflection. Gaze lovingly at your collected swag. Get a massage. Write. Relax. Allow yourself to just be.

3. Clean your gear.

Wash your clothes and car. MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS DRY.

4. Put down your phone.

Or at least, don't go nutz obsessing over it. Your brain and body is wonky and your communication skills are probably not going to be at 100%

5. Wait.

Perhaps the most important tip: Wait 3 weeks before you make any life changing decisions.

6. Remember.

You are not alone. If you're struggling, talk to someone about it. The default world might feel a little weird for awhile. Especially if this is your first time.
