218 (?). Reading or writing some poetry. Or lyrics if you're musical.
Isn't it funny, the things that we say,
Both gain and lose power
When down on the page?
Seeing them there and speaking aloud,
I see them for what they are:
- words -
And in writing, let go of some rage.

Re: 1000001 COPING STRATEGIES & DISTRACTIONS
@Bee there is something so satisfying about successfully building flatpack furniture!! Although in my experience I often end up a little frustrated if it doesn't work out
One of my favourite coping strategies/distractions is to get up and make a 'mug' cookie in my microwave - for anyone interested this is one of my favourite recipes! http://www.number-2-pencil.com/2012/03/06/chocolate-chip-cookie-in-cup/

Yes that is true! I find I almost always think I don't need the instructions so I start and go about it the hard way, then realise there is an easier way which the instructions says LOL
OOOOOOOH that looks super YUMMM!!!

Remember you're amazing just as you are
