Self Soothing Coping Mechanism

lcasper — 2024-02-17 15:09:33 UTC

A self soothing coping mechanism that I can use if I am stressed is to play with a stress toy. These stress toys are specifically meant to calm stress using your "touch" sense. This also applies to me because I sometimes use it and I think it is a great way to deal with stress.

Distraction Coping Mechanism

Another coping mechanism I can use is to call a friend over. This is a distraction coping mechanism because is distracts you from the stress that could be going on. Usually when I have a friend over, we do cool activities and tell stories to each other, and that could easily distract you from stress.

Opposite Action Coping Mechanism

An opposite action coping mechanism is to do the opposite of your impulse that's consistent with more positive emotion. A great example of this is to go outside and run or walk. This is a great example because if you have sadness or depression, you usually stay cooped up inside your house, but using this coping mechanism, you would push yourself to go outside for a jog.

Emotional Awareness Coping mechanism

A good emotional awareness coping mechanism is to write down feelings in a journal. Emotional awareness is to know or identify how you feel, so journaling does exactly that.

Mindfulness Coping Mechanism

Since Mindfulness means to center and ground yourself in the present moment, you can meditate in a very quiet room by yourself. This creates mindfulness, because it calms you and help relieve and cope with stress.

Crisis Plan Coping Mechanism

A Crisis plan is a coping mechanism that is only used when all of the other five coping mechanisms don't work. For this, you can get help from a trusted adult, or call helplines such as 1-988-222-2228. Since you couldn't find relief in the other 5 stress coping mechanisms to move on to this one, something serious might be going on, which makes it important to get the right help

Stressor 1

lcasper — 2024-02-19 14:54:16 UTC

One stressor that I face is school. School is considered a stressor to me because it sometimes makes me feel a little uncomfortable, especially when taking a test or quiz. Also, when I have a lot of homework, I get more separated from my family becuase I don't get too much time to be with them.

Resource 1

In East Brunswick, you can go to many different places for help. One of them is located at 16 Emerson St Suite #4, East Brunswick, NJ 08816. To describe this place, I must say that it is one of the best places to go to in EB. It is rated 5 star, but it's hours are 9AM-9PM.

Resource 2

Another place you can go to get help is called Alliance Orthopedics. One reason why it is a good place to go to is becuase it is rated 4.9, and it usually not too busy.

Resource 3

Lastly, you can go to get therapy at JAG physical therapy. It is also rated 5 stars and it is located at 555 Route 18,
East Brunswick, NJ 08816. It is open from 7AM to 8PM. on every day, but on Saturday hours are 8AM to 1PM, and on Sundays it is not open.

Stressor 2

Another stressor that I experience is competitive swimming. To describe competitive swimming, I would say that It causes me to be hard on myself, especially when I don't get a good time on a race. Also, the coach has to be hard on the swimmers, or else you will have a non-progression swim.

Stressor 3

lcasper — 2024-02-26 20:32:09 UTC

Another stressor that I and many others face is family. A description of this stress would not be too heavy, it is still something. The reason why this is a stressor is becuase my brother can be really annoying sometimes and I get in these little fights with him.

Stressor 4

lcasper — 2024-02-27 01:00:12 UTC

A different stressor that I face is basketball. The reason why this is a stressor is becuase there are many parents watching the game and when you get the ball, all eyes are on me, so it can be stressing. In addition, when you take a shot, you fear that you might miss, and that would be really embarrassing.

Stressor 5

lcasper — 2024-02-27 01:12:48 UTC

Lastly, an additional stressor is chess. This can be considered a stressor for me becuase during tournaments, it is very possible that you can verse an opponent that is worse than you, but you are super afraid of making the game perpetual, or losing. This can happen becuase you played one bad move, and could embarrass you a lot for not winning.

Walking in my hero's shoes

lcasper — 2024-02-27 01:24:14 UTC

My hero is Magnus Carlsen. Magnus is a Norwegian chess player and it is obvious that he is the best chess player out there. He can analyze the most complicated games and figure out the best move. On top of that he is the highest rated player in all of Chess.com. To walk in Magnus Carlsen's shoes, I must say things would be very stressful. Magnus flies around the world versing other top players, and as said in stressor 5, losing to a lower rated player is very embarrassing. Instead of just versing other players in a Library chess club, Magnus plays his tournaments in the highest level pressure with millions of people watching him. That is why his life is very stressful.
