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 presentUsing different senses from sight to tasteBeing mindful with that first sip of coffee in the morningTaking a mindful biteHow music can influence how you’re feelingUsing podcasts to soothe yourselfAre you a highly sensitive person?And remember, do not forget about yourself, take a few minutes for you and have a little fun!—Resources mentioned in the podcastElaine Aron - www.hsperson.comCalm and Connected Podcast 116 - Ryan Juddhttps://www.janinehalloran.com/podcast/calm-and-connected-episode-116Calm and Connected Podcast 99 - Sophie Garnerhttps://www.janinehalloran.com/podcast/calm-and-connected-episode-99Free resource for adults to explore their coping skillshttps://copingskillsforkids.com/coping-skills-for-adultsAbout The Host - Janine HalloranJanine Halloran is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, an author, a speaker, an entrepreneur and a mom.
