Long-Term Activities
Long term coping strategies are best to be used when your general mood is low and negative, or you have been struggling by an event such as a death, or loss of a family member. These activities can have a larger impact on our mental wellness than most of us believe.
Fresh Air
Going out for a walk for just 15 minutes can be impactful. When our body receives the outdoor air and sunlight, it shifts into a better mood because of the serotonin it emits.
Self-Care
Sometimes, when we don't even realize it, our bodies go through so much that we forget how much they deserve. Activities like manicures, going out for dinner, and taking a vacation can all relax your mind and give you more happiness than you thought could exist in yourself.
Creativity
Artwork, writing, and baking all of something in common; creativity. When our minds learn and make new things, it will send us a signal of being proud of us, and that there are endless reasons to live.
