It can be used for anything, but is most commonly used by many for calendar type layouts and tracking various habits/activities. I find it extremely relawing to draw these layouts when I am stressed.]]> 2020-04-16 02:07:30 UTC https://padlet.com/karlielnichols/copingskills/wish/509725825 karlielnichols https://padlet.com/karlielnichols/copingskills/wish/509726872 I like to write about my day and any stressors I have as a coping mechanism because it helps me reflect and develop intrapersonal skills as well as put my struggles into perspective and get them out onto paper.]]> 2020-04-16 02:08:37 UTC https://padlet.com/karlielnichols/copingskills/wish/509726872 karlielnichols https://padlet.com/karlielnichols/copingskills/wish/509729622 While its not wise to rely on food to fix your feelings, the occasional indulgence is beneficial!]]> 2020-04-16 02:11:18 UTC https://padlet.com/karlielnichols/copingskills/wish/509729622 karlielnichols https://padlet.com/karlielnichols/copingskills/wish/509730552 Spending time with family can be a great way to relax and let your guard down a bit (unless your stress is coming from them...which is very rarely the case for me). I like to just enjoy their company and play a game or watch a movie.]]> 2020-04-16 02:12:10 UTC https://padlet.com/karlielnichols/copingskills/wish/509730552 karlielnichols https://padlet.com/karlielnichols/copingskills/wish/509735004 Personally, I find cooking to be very relaxing. I like to go into the kitchen and feel like I'm in my own world where I make all the decisions about how the food is made. It gives me a sense of control and a time in which I can be peaceful and figure out how to conquer my thoughts and stressors.]]> 2020-04-16 02:16:37 UTC https://padlet.com/karlielnichols/copingskills/wish/509735004 karlielnichols https://padlet.com/karlielnichols/copingskills/wish/509736613 Putting in earbuds and cranking up the music can be therapeutic. "Human" by Christina Perri is one of my go to songs in times of stress and angst. ]]> 2020-04-16 02:18:19 UTC https://padlet.com/karlielnichols/copingskills/wish/509736613 karlielnichols https://padlet.com/karlielnichols/copingskills/wish/509738484 Going back to exercise and nature, going on a walk (and taking a furry friend along) allows you to think and be mindful whilst enjoying some fresh air and being outside.]]> 2020-04-16 02:20:14 UTC https://padlet.com/karlielnichols/copingskills/wish/509738484 karlielnichols https://padlet.com/karlielnichols/copingskills/wish/509739750 Possibly one of my most frequented coping skills, breathing is a really quick, easy to implement skill. I use the 4-7-8 method. In for 4, hold for 7, out for 8!]]> 2020-04-16 02:21:35 UTC https://padlet.com/karlielnichols/copingskills/wish/509739750 karlielnichols https://padlet.com/karlielnichols/copingskills/wish/509740993 Another one of my frequented skills, I do yoga as often as I can... I typically do it before bed because it helps me sleep and put aside my anxieties and fears and get a restful sleep. This video is my personal favorite for night time yoga, but I switch it out sometimes for a sleep meditation on the app Meditopia.]]> 2020-04-16 02:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/karlielnichols/copingskills/wish/509740993 karlielnichols https://padlet.com/karlielnichols/copingskills/wish/509742076 Being with people and socializing with friends is possibly one of the best things you can do when stressed! I like to text/facetime my best friend, Katie, when I'm feeling stressed in quarantine and want to hang out with someone.]]> 2020-04-16 02:24:01 UTC https://padlet.com/karlielnichols/copingskills/wish/509742076
