Lots of deep breathing. I've also been adding yoga very slowly to my moring and evening routine. The last few weekends I've tried to get out into nature for a few minutes - very helpful!
@MissPen
Those are great coping skills and getting out in nature helps us a lot see how wonderful things around us can be.
Hi, I'm new to 7cups and I'm 50+.
It doesn't feel like the golden years...
@sincereIdea2018
Welcome to 7cups. Sorry you feel that it isn't the golden years. Getting older is harder to do things then what we used to.
Mental health is not good today. Negative self judgement and feeling hopeless. Thinking that I am doing lousy work and don't know how to make it better. Thinking that I've wasted my life and squandered my opportunities. I want to hide away.
@WorthyStruggle
i know it is hard to endure these kinds of days, Worthy, but often we find that looking back later, there was goodness that we didn't recognize in enduring and persisting~ 
@GustyOne4U
Thank you Gutsy. That is encouraging.
@DanaMH I just let my shoulder s drop and let my chin lower toward my chest and take a deep breath.
@soulsings
Those are all great ideas.
