Simon: Baz, What You Bought Me For My Birthday?

In life, when you encounter mean people, you either ignore them or give a taste of their behaviour back towards them.

Decide which is effective!

types of healthy coping skills

1. self-soothing

comforting yourself through the 5 senses

Touch: stuffed animals, stress balls, taking a bath, a soft blanket

Hear: music, audio book, guided relaxation

See: snow globe, glitter, calming images, art, anything that pleases you visually 

Taste: tea, mints, gum

Smell: lotion, candles, incense 

2. distraction

removing your focus from the stressor for a period of time

puzzles, art, crafting, reading, movies, gaming, exercise, being social

3. opposite action

doing the opposite of the impulse that aligns with a positive emotion

affirmations, inspiration, lighthearted and encouraging focus

4. emotional awareness

identifying and constructively expressing what you’re feeling

journaling, listing emotions, using a emotional identification chart, drawing, therapy

5. mindfulness

centering and anchoring yourself to the present moment

meditation, guided relaxation, yoga, breathing exercises, candle gazing, going for a walk

6. ask for help

this is important to do when you feel like your coping skills are not enough or they are too negative and detrimental  

therapy is ideal for helping a person create a healthy coping strategy and incorporate it into their life 

*a coping skill is considered healthy if it helps you to deal with stress more positively, does not hinder your progress, and isn’t harmful physically or mentally. A coping skill can become negative when it is used to completely avoid dealing with the stressor. 

me: *is a living train wreck*  yaaas!!! stay hydrated guys! life is so beautiful we are all beautiful always smile at strangers and eat healthy :)

Who will love you when you're that ashamed of yourself?

Me as a kid, pretending to be innocent when I did something that'd upset my parents:

Just kitty things:

For the umpteenth time, Ty ponders why Kit left him. Ty is aware that Kit didn't like some of his past decisions. Still, Ty can't believe that Kit left him. Just like that! Thinking about all these things make him angry and then it reduces him to tears because he's missing Kit terribly.

"I wish I could sit next to him and see where he is in the book. Ask what he thinks about the story so far. I want to know if he’s the type who watches the movie and then reads the book, or the other way around."
