what are your coping strategies for stress?
I utilise the self talk method to calm myself down. eg
someone cuts me whilst driving. I can feel the rage fueling my body. my grip tighten on the steering wheel.
I watch my hands tightening. I tell myself to breathe. Its ok David. Breathe.
I use that for almost everything. for other stressful situations. I talk to my partner about my feelings. sounds corny but it works for me.
