1. Find parts of your body which make you less dysphoric or more euphoric. For example, the flat space between your chest lumps or your lips. Focus on these parts of yourself.
2. Dress in baggy clothing. This way you can't see yourself and you can't see parts or the lack of parts that cause you discomfort.
3. Make a 'dysphoria playlist' of songs which make you feel less dysphoric, more euphoric or distract you. Focus on the lyrics and music. Or get up and dance to the songs, if you can.
4. Wear gender affirming clothes. They don't have to 'match' your gender, they can be whatever you like. If you can't wear what you want because of others, try wearing affirming underwear. Try boxers or a sports bra.
5. Find temporary ways to change your body. This might include packing, tucking, binding, stuffing a bra, ect. There are items you can purchase for these things, or homemade ways (although if you go the homemade route make sure to check for safe ways and don't do anything dangerous).
6. Try makeup. You can try masc or fem contouring. You can cover facial hair or make facial hair. You can try heaps of stuff. And if you are worried about someone seeing and want to feel more fem, chapstick or lip balm is an option.
7. Draw yourself how you want to be. This could be in any way (digital, traditional, or even using a character maker). You can add the hair you want, change your body parts, add clothing, ect.
8. Write something about yourself. Use your correct pronouns and name(s), and write anything from a sentence to a whole story. You can also write your life how you wish it was.
9. Try to show pride in yourself. This can be subtle (for example, look up 'subtle {identity} wallpaper' and use that as a phone background or draw your pride flag(s) and keep it in your wallet or a notebook) or more obvious (for example, buy a pride flag and hang it up).
10. Watch content by other trans folk. This can distract you and also allow you to imagine a future where you can be yourself (if you can't at the moment). Try looking on youtube for creators who are the same or a similar gender, if you want.
