We all have times in life where we're not 100% our best selves and I think it's really important to have healthy coping coping mechanisms if I'm upset I'll call someone I love I'll journal or I might just go sitting in the car alone what are your guises ways to deal with stress in a healthy way
So I write down how I'm feeling and if there's a way to solve the issue, if there's not, then I try to let it go. I'll also either blast music or put some headphones on and then I'll try to meditate and get calm
First things first as I pray because normally when I'm stressed it's because my mind is in a loop and I'm overly thinking and I'm focussing on the problem so when I have that time to pray and meditate and to hear from God then it directs the focus on something greater
I do personally I do like a lot of journaling if I'm feeling really down I let a candle I would like scriptures out of the Bible if I'm really feeling like it stuff like that go for a walk oh no just self-care it really helps
Oh then think about whatever you have like bottled up and stuff helps too I noticed that what works for me like if you don't have anybody to talk to you never did shit like that you just talk to me that you trust a good restaurant or something
Also if you smoke weed but I used to smoke me back in the day and I when I was like really stressed out I'd smoke and that really help but then again like it didn't really help to feed the purpose because it is just like make you forget about it for a while and then like it comes right back
And then I also love to exercise and bike dance and swim and do things something physical to get my body moving because of how it releases endorphins which is a really good natural way to release stress
I go to the gym and it releases a lot of stress I also do call someone and then I just rant and I feel a lot better but of course ask permission if it's OK to rent so that they don't feel burden to
I love I am going to the sauna it's literally like my Safehaven I love journalling and I always make a conscious effort to set a spa day for myself every fortnight it really helps
