| Coping Skills/Ideas for Stress
During our coping skills chat on skype, the group came up with a list of things to help cope.
Create a coping/stress box so that you will have things in it that you can pull out when feeling stressed out or overwhelmed. Some things that could be put in it are:
Make flip cards with positive statements about self
Scented candles
A cd of relaxing music or nature
Stress balls
Play Doh
Scent oils/perfume
Ipod
Pictures that make us smile
Coloring book
Coloring pencils/markers/crayons
A blanket or soft toy
Cards reminding you to breathe
Other things to help when feeling stressed and/or overwhelmed.
Changing thoughts
Changing little things (like picking up 3 things to put away)
Pray for peace and/or comfort
Smile at yourself in the mirror
Get out of bed and get dressed instead of avoiding it
Make a list of things to do that can be checked off |
