Coping Hacks...The Good Kind

  •  Accomplish something, even if its small. Clean out a drawer, your closet, your car.
  •  Get a check-up and speak to your doctor. Be honest about your feelings.
  •  Identify your triggers and develop a strategy to cope beforehand.
  •  Make a gratitude list of 3-5 things you're grateful for.
  •  Write a letter to who you're having strong feelings about, then burn it or tear it up.
  •  Journal, write down free thoughts when you're feeling overwhelmed

Exercise or move your body; get outside in the sun. Do anything with your feelings/thoughts when they come up. – Dr. Jai Belton
