When I get a moment of nervousness or social anxiety/embarrassment or need to clear an intrusive thought from my head, I often make the sign of the cross, modified generously to include knocking on my left temporal lobe. It works fairly well; it's a little weird since I'm not Catholic and I never have been, but it usually seems to calm my brain.
The only problem with this habit is that I mostly only do it in high-traffic areas such as walking to classes or while studying in public. The combination of this fact and aforementioned strange motions means that people constantly think I'm waving at them. Complete strangers wave back at me and I just kind of have to lean into it and go ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ™‚ as if I wasn't just having thoughts about ripping out a man's jugular vein with my teeth
