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.

When I was a young boy my father took me to the city to see a marching band. He said “Son when you grow up, will you be the the savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned?”

This evening I had the pleasure of seeing Coriander And A Penny’s Worth Of Lonesome, an animated feature film that was a labor of love for the last two years between my professors Ron Falzone and Julian Grant. Bravo Gentlemen! A job well done. I loved it!

This year in particular has been a season of metamorphosis for me. I’ve seen some changes radically take place in my life. This photo of me in the plaid represents the old ideals I once had that no longer serve me. The ones where I’m suited up represent the present and future ahead of me. I’m so thankful for all the friends and family who have supported me during this time in my life, I’m thankful for the job I have, the roof over my head and the food in my belly. Cheers to new experiences, creative endeavors yet to be pursued, career growth and life experiences in general #ThisIs31 and I’m excited for what’s to come! -AR

I had the awesome opportunity to shoot my friends Casey and Alina’s wedding last week. They did it Nawlinz style in Chicago at Fifolet Cajun Cuisine in Wicker Park. So honored and privileged to help capture your special day. Video to come!
