A quick reminder that things always change. We are capable of adapting to our current situations. Our attention should be given to how we cope with these changes. Anxiety and overwhelm can disrupt these processes.
What do you do to help yourself through unsettled periods?

Morr_Books I agree with @TheBookHippie . I also go for nice walks outside whenever I can and take some deep breaths of fresh air. 2y

BookmarkTavern I‘ve recently started meditating, and I‘m surprised how helpful it‘s been centering myself! 2y
Catsandbooks This has been one of the most stressful and overwhelming years I've had in almost a decade. Going to therapy and learning coping mechanisms has been the biggest help. Most of the time I would find solace in my hobbies like reading or art. But lately even that's been hard to focus on. One thing I'm trying to do is get better sleep. 2y
Catsandbooks Something I find helpful when I'm struggling with my mental health is to take a shower. Ik it's a simple thing but for me it's so cleansing in more ways than one lol. Like it's great reset for me. I try to ground myself by focusing on the smells, how the soap feels, the warmth of the water, etc. For me water is such a powerful thing, whether I'm in it or drinking it 😂 2y
AllDebooks Some great ideas, thank you so much for sharing x 2y
AllDebooks @TheBookHippie I keep meaning to do this and never get around to it. 2y
AllDebooks @bnp absolutely, very restorative activities. It's nice to slow down in the garden 2y
AllDebooks @Morr_Books mindful walking = complete relaxation 2y
AllDebooks @ozma.of.oz I haven't tried meditation for a long time. I should give it another go 2y
AllDebooks @Catsandbooks I'm so sorry it's been a tough year. I always take respite in books to escape difficult times, if only for a wee while. I really struggled last year and found I was too stressed to read, which exacerbated all the stress. I switched to audiobooks or short stories until life became settled again. 2y
