Mindfulness w/ Ms. Adams

Recognize negative
self-talk: My friend was late meeting with me. He must not like me enough
to be on time. He will probably stop hanging out with me. 

Challenge negative

self –talk: Ask yourself questions like…Is there a different way to see the
situation?

Change negative

self-talk: My friend is probably late because he is so busy. I am glad he
is here now so we can hang out!

Practice: In the

scenario, re-shape your thinking by changing negative self-talk to positive
self-talk.

1-    Recognize negative

self-talk- I’m never going to pass my math class, I’m terrible at it!

   Challenge

negative self-talk- Is there a different way for me to look at this situation?
Is it helpful to see the situation in this way?

     Time

to re-shape: How would you Change this negative self-talk?

Takeaway: When

you start having negative emotions, it is time to “RCC”: recognize, challenge
and change negative self-talk. This is one way to improve your mood, motivation
and mental health!

Mindfulness w/Ms. Adams

The art of dealing with stress and anxiety is the ability to recognize stress and implement strategies to deal with it before it becomes an overwhelming problem. On top of all that, life has drastically changed and is feeling pressure to stay inside and practice social distancing from extended family, friends, and the outside world. 

Simple Stress Coping Strategies

Obtain Social Support.           Prioritize exercise                       Express gratitude 

Develop a positive            Self-talk habit                            Make time for leisure activities 

Eat a balanced diet           Meditate                                           When you feel it, write it 

Laugh                               Learn to avoid procrastination.            Listen to music Deep breathing 

Reflection: Which of these coping strategies would you be willing to try and why? 

The Bottom Line: 

There are many simple ways to prevent or reduce stress. Learn to manage it.
