This episode is the next installment of ‘Coping skills for adults’ and I wanted to explore some sensory strategies we can use to cope, destress, and relax throughout our days. We’re all busy people so if we can take these mini relaxation moments to destress then it won’t feel like another item to add to the to-do list, you can do it while you’re at the supermarket or working at your desk.
The topics I cover in this episode are:
Recognizing everyday things to be mindful and present
Using different senses from sight to taste
Being mindful with that first sip of coffee in the morning
Taking a mindful bite
How music can influence how you’re feeling
Using podcasts to soothe yourself
Are you a highly sensitive person?
And remember, do not forget about yourself, take a few minutes for you and have a little fun!
