Coping Strategies

What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?

Strategies I use to cope with negative feelings…

Ooh, I use different strategies – dependant on what and how severe my negative feelings are.

The majority of the time I get my paint brushes out and express my feelings on the canvas. I also write in my journal, splurge all my thoughts and negative feelings on the page.

I occasionally chat with my friends…

More recently, I have expressed my feelings through tears, floods of persistent tears – what a release!!!💧

In the warmer months I will go into my garden and potter around. At other times I go on a cleaning spree in my home, scrubbing and polishing already clean surfaces.

I do, at times sit quietly and have a little chat with myself. Put things into perspective…it’s not all that bad – surely?

Take a deep breath, or three…

Slam the music on and dance 🎶💃

Happy Saturday ❤️

Passionate About Painting and Gardening: Activities that Absorb Me

What activities do you lose yourself in?

What activities do I lose myself in…

I can’t say I lose myself in any activity. The activities where I get totally absorbed has to be painting and gardening. I also love a bit of construction and DIY.
