Coping Strategies (Core Studies)
Relaxation-Controlled breathing and progressive muscle relaxation (examples below): Rectangular Breathing – using windows, doors, picture etc. Breathe in and out deeply as your eyes follow the rectangle. Box Breathing – breathe in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4.7-11 Breathing – in for 7, out for 11, or as long as you can manage. The outbreath is your friend when stressed, or not feeling stressed. It brings oxygen to your heart and brain, which we need more than ever when under pressure. Mindfulness Colouring – colouring a picture / number colouring book.
