I have started to do this in real life where I get a sudden feeling of urgency (that I am needed somewhere or have to check for messages from my team or respond to the CEO's text). As soon as I catch it, I press both feet down firmly on the ground for just a few seconds. It immediately calms me down. Stop and smell the roses, as they say.
I find myself doing this a couple dozen times a day.
You said the magic keyword: "curiosity", when it comes to computers and tech at least. Something that I find severely lacking among - for lack of a better term - Gen Z.
