What happens when.....

[bridder01]

Hey everyone! Brian here! Got a quick question to throw out here:

What happens when you find yourself stressed out? What coping skills do you use to help alleviate the stress?

Have a good Saturday night!

Your pal,

Brian

Hi Brian. It really depends on the person what works. Two ideas; one, burn the excess adrenaline ( run, scream, jump) whatever. And two, feed your mind with something you enjoy. Read about it, make a budget to buy it.... think , plan. Point is, your brain will switch gears. It's not a perfect ultimate fix but if can get you back in your skin.

That's true...…...but what do YOU do to battle stress?

[Tealribbon in reply to bridder01]

HA. I read about planting a garden and sketch how I want to build it in my back yard. I keep a little journal with ideas. If i can I do one thing, no matter how small, towards my goal. I love crossing things off a to do list. I have a stationary bike so I jump on that. Even for just 10 mins or so.

Hi, I realized that I get most stressed out when it’s quiet, and I am sitting just thinking about my problems. It’s a struggle for me but I have to get up and do something that occupies my mind. Working a sudoku sometimes helps.

I listen to music or meditate.

I like to read if my anxiety allows it.

Sometimes I have to get up and move around.

I talk to myself and keep trying to tell myself that I am safe.

I use yoga and meditation to quite my mind in hopes to prevent an anxiety attack.
