Hi Kora ,
I found that I used all the categories in the section of directing attention , all of them were so useful ! I used them with some of the case studies I worked on! And I found that through my healing journey my body was naturally and unconsciously directing me to use them without any plan , that proves how intelligent our body could be, trying to direct us and trying to speak to us in all the ways it can , but sometimes we’re the ones who don’t listen :) 

Regarding The calming methods , I used to do the breathing exercises so often under supervision of my physiotherapist but even in the most stressful moments it was so hard to regulate breathing, It wasn’t so beneficial for me but I found going out with a positive happy friend was always of a great benefit for me , as well as some of the case studies I worked with! 
Those were my favorite :)
