After Bedtime with Big Little Feelings

NOTE

Coping Skills for Mild Stress State

When experiencing mild stress, coping skills like deep breathing, sensory hacks, getting outside, changing self-talk, and cognitive reframing can be effective. Deep breaths can shift the nervous system, intense smells can calm the brain, being in nature can help, such as touching grass or looking at the sky. Walking can provide bilateral stimulation. Shifting self-talk to positive mantras like 'I can do hard things' can be beneficial. Using cognitive reframing to question why one is feeling a certain way and assessing if the response is typical of a healthy adult is helpful within the window of tolerance. Once outside this window, focusing on physical sensations is more effective until returning to a state of calm within the window of tolerance.
