3. It is well known that rituals and routine activities decrease stress.

Anything that is a familiar routine can be comforting and distracting.
They provide predictability and structure.

I myself find WWII movies very comforting which may seem odd.
But I am a military kid and the uniforms, rank, military life, etc., are comforting.

And people working together on a common goal, doing what is right,
and working for the American people is uplifting.
