Coping Skills for Adults: Sensory Strategies

This episode is the next installment of ‘Coping skills for adults’ and I wanted to explore some sensory strategies we can use to cope, destress, and relax throughout our days. We’re all busy people so if we can take these mini relaxation moments to destress then it won’t feel like another item to add to the to-do list, you can do it while you’re at the supermarket or working at your desk. The topics I cover in this episode are: Recognizing everyday things to be mindful and present Using different senses from sight to taste Being mindful with that first sip of coffee in the morning Taking a mindful bite How music can influence how you’re feeling Using podcasts to soothe yourself Are you a highly sensitive person? — Resources mentioned in the podcast Elaine Aron - www.hsperson.com Calm and Connected Podcast 116 - Ryan Judd https://www.janinehalloran.com/podcast/calm-and-connected-episode-116 Calm and Connected Podcast 99 - Sophie Garner https://www.janinehalloran.com/podcast/calm-and-connected-episode-99 Free resource for adults to explore their coping skills https://copingskillsforkids.com/coping-skills-for-adults And remember, do not forget about yourself, take a few minutes for you and have a little fun!
