how do you like to de-stress after a hard day?
we all have hard days and it is important to know how to regulate ourselves after one! please share your experiences here! maybe someone finds a nice coping skill to try while going through the comments!
@Clarisse29
Eh so used to the hard days xD in general, though, what helps me destress is plugging off from the world and being with myself, listening to music, taking a walk, being in nature (if possible) or watching something light hearted and chill, ooh or nomming some nice food (🍕).
How about youu, Clarisse?💗
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
that sounds really relaxing sun! <3 i'm glad you have so many things you find comfort in :)
i usually read or feed/play with my dorm cat/stray animals to de-stress!
@Clarisse29 hehe thank youu and yay, that sounds super relaxing and wholesome also!🥰
@Clarisse29 I know my day is done when my pain levels start getting to much. Then I sit in bed with my fountain on, lights dimmed (but not to much) I listen to chilled music and just chill with my baby bunny. ❤❤
@Tinywhisper11
nice ways to de-stress!
With c-ptsd, I’m on edge most of the time. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t often times miserable or hard to be me. Everyday I’m just trying my best to stay positive. Music is really helpful. Lots of talking through my past and trying to identify/work through triggers. A good support system. Keeping my circle small. Cooking. Naps. :)
@spicyavocado3788
those sound like lovely ways to cope! <3 i wish you a lot of healing and support :))
@Clarisse29
A good nap/power nap never sounds bad.
@trueconfidant123 it can be really refreshing!
@Clarisse29 💯
@Clarisse29 by baking! Nothing beats a good dessert after a stressful day.
@ChillingRain 100% agreed!
music, a nap, taking a walk.
@unicorm so relaxing!
@Clarisse29
A few things for me are taking naps and taking a nice warm shower. I am also very into skincare, so after a nice shower I like to put on some music, drink some coffee and do my skincare routine as well as my hair. It really helps me keep my mind clear and worry free.
@soyisa
i engage in this routine a lot of times as well! it's so relaxing!
@Clarisse29
I have a cosy spot to sit near my room's window. I stumble there whenever I want to think and calm down. The view outside is beautiful. It's the spot where I paint and paint till the stress brushes away😊
@ZendagiMigzaraaa so comfy!
Snuggling with my pup while we watch a feel good comedy together
@CuriousSoul how cute!
@CuriousSoul that’s a classic!
@Clarisse29 after a long hard day a good sleep helps. Other than that a fun sitcom that I have watched before or some sweet music helps me calm down.
