I go to therapy and do art and fish keeping. I put art up around my house that says inspiring things and it really seems to help

🙏I do so many things. Exercise!!! The gym and skiing. Learning new skills. Taking lessons for my new skills…. Knitting and steel tongue drums, journaling, coloring in adult coloring books, reading God’s word. Keeping busy and positive.

Drawing, I used to do art therapy a lot and found it really helped. Of course, drawing was already a hobby for me beforehand, I just turned it into a coping skill to help get my mind off things

Go to the gym, get out of my room. Socialize, have plenty of water, do things I enjoy (watch anime, play video games, draw, read webtoon)

I’ve started with witchcraft and honestly, it’s basically just spicy psychology lol. It helps me to take a look at everything and give me ways of coping that mean a lot to me

Meditating helps me a bunch! It gets easier the more you practice and you can teach your brain to go into a meditative state which sounds amazing for my persistent thiughts

Music. Meditation. Playing games. But doing that is temporary.
