1000001 COPING STRATEGIES & DISTRACTIONS

[lanejane]

Hey! So @j95 and I came up with a cool idea to have the longest list of coping mechanisms EVER.

Use this list when you're feeling down as a way to get through the day or night!

Help us add to it by giving us ONE SUGGESTION PER POST

My first coping mechanism suggestion is:

• SNUGGLING YOUR DOGS FOR 5 MINUTES. (Cos dogs are the best)

So much love for this idea!

• Hit the gym and get some feel-good endorphins flowing.

Play a musical instrument.

Distraction: Pizzzzzzzza!

Hahaha

[j95]

Lay down with a heat pack on the part of your body you feel stressed (like your chest)

[FootyFan26]

Sleep

Running! (on the beach is my favourite... or near the beach because sand in your shoes is seriously annoying and you would need a whole new coping mechanism for that!)

[FootyFan26]

Run in bare feet @lanejane!

• Scribble on a piece of paper
