It depends on the stressor - if I just have a lot to do and Im feeling overwhelmed I sit down in a quiet place and make a list of everything I need to do. Then I prioritize, prioritize, prioritize.
if it is a person or event thats stressing me, thats harder. I try to just walk away, take a breath and regain focus. Mindful meditation helps sometimes- but if if really stressed my ‘monkey mind wants to be in control.
@MissPen
Making a list is really helpful to all of us and I totally agree with the prioritize, prioritize, prioritize. That is really good to walk away, that those breaths and regain your focus. Sometimes when I can't walk away, I count. Mindful meditation is really good, I agree sometimes it is hard and we need to try to ground ourselves to have it help us more.
@MissPen I do the same and if it's at an event I find myself in the bathroom to get a breather even if I don't need to go.
@caringPanda45 OMG - I do the same thing!!
I take a walk and just breathe
Those are great coping skills
