1000001 COPING STRATEGIES & DISTRACTIONS
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.

I've recently moved to a different room in my house, and a lot of it is really refreshing for me! With barely going out of the house these days, this is a really big (and welcome) change of scenery for me, especially since it's within my control. It's getting me to do lots of little therapeutic things as well, like making my bed and decorating my room, and organising my things. Maybe I'll start doing those little things more often 🙂
I recommend playing colour by number games, very relaxing can be started and stopped at your leisure. Special shout out to Happy Colour my favourite app for this
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!)
Gets inbetween my toes 😛
What aboutttttttt:
12. Sitting under a pier? I can do that in bare feet!
That always makes me feel better if i'm down... of if I know i'm starting to get stressed that's where I go before it hits!
that is so much harder than it sounds @FootyFan26
Lets number them so we know how many we have, yeah?
10. Print and colour a mandala
It's still fun!
13. Watch your cat be clumsy and fall over all the time
My cat is SO uncoordinated it's not funny. But then when he's active enough he does backflips.
14. Writing. A story, your thoughts, anything. Just getting stuff from your mind and onto paper.
