Coping skills

[Nothingnoted]

Whenever I want to keep someone away from me or someone from staring i clench my fists. Even though I'm not angry it's my coping method of keeping people away

Whatever works for you. We all have our own coping skills..

Mine is to put on my headphones when waiting in an office,

sometimes the sound isn't even on lol xx

I know and why we hostile work environment I use earplugs and they like to bang things even louder in the office they are worse than children

[Agora1 in reply to Nothingnoted]

Good idea...I can't handle loud noises or bright lights myself.

I'm the one walking down the street with cool sunglasses lol xx

My ear buds are in during all my break time at work so I'm unapproachable. Questionable behavior at best, avoidant for certain....but it's what I have to do to cope with my toxic workplace.

I'm always listening to the meditation app Insight Timer... it's the best free content BY FAR!! Solfeggio frequencies, every nature sound you could want, live podcasts, thousands of guided meditation and music with no fees.

Insight timer is the app I use as well. The lessons learned are phenomenal.

Heyyy 🐬💗... you're the first person I've found that uses Insight Timer⏳ Isn't it the best? I tried calm during the pandemic, but it really fell short on content. I love the live features and teachers.

Hi

I love it. I've been using it for years. Here are my stats I'm so proud of them

Insight timer :)

Wow! I'm a novice compared to your stats! I just love all the original composers and their music. binaural beats & different Hertz vibrations, ambient music and nature sounds are the favorites I gravitate toward. Thunderstorm ⛈️ ocean, river and rainforest cuz I have an affinity for 💦🌊 water sounds. It soothes me deeply.

I've wandered away from the guided meditation and teaching aspects of the app. Sound therapy is what I've turned this into, I guess. I used to listen to Buddhist teachings regularly. It's where I found jack Kornfield Tara brach Sharon Salzburg sad guru and many others podcasts and teachings. I should get back to you the live sessions and yoga more often.

When YouTube turned into my platform for research and videos, I lost Insight Timers educational aspect...I should revisit that. Thank you for bringing that back to my attention.

I listen to the teachers you mentioned and have found so many more along the way. I have learned so much.

Your stats are looking good too! Look at all those stars

Me, too. I have Ptsd

My therapist had suggested the ear buds also.

I go right to a deep breath and say " here we go again"
