Coping Box πŸ’Ÿ

Jem7Cups April 9th, 2020

What is a coping box? πŸ€”

Well, its similar to a toolbox. Every item has a special talent, and will have a very important job. A coping box is full of items that will help you when you are feeling low, angry or a negative emotion.

My coping box would be full of...

... art supplies, stress toys, teddies from my childhood, a few snacks, and my gratitude journal. Maybe, if there was space, I could add a folded up fleece blanket.

Coping boxes change depending on the person. Is yours small? Or is it big? Maybe you dont have one. For those who don't, let's just (for now) pretend that you do.

So, whats in you coping box?

Mine would probably have candles, a blanket, a stuffed animal, tea, fuzzy socks, lavender spray, and coloring books

I've been wanting to make one of these but I haven't yet! My box would probably have some markers, bubbles, and some fidget toys. This one is kind of specific but I got the idea from something my brother does: a container of beads / dry beans / something small and hard like that. It's good for grounding and focusing attention in different ways! :)

My coping box would hold: the soft blanket I keep on my bed, the stuffed bear my sister gave me for my last birthday (it has a recording of my grandmother's voice that plays when you squeeze the paw), cinnamon scented candle, clay face mask, at least one bottle of nail polish, a journal, and my pandora account so I can listen to the music of my choice.

Want to tag @nwaveo and @UDT to join me in putting together a Coping Box. :)

@SecretlyMe, @nwaveo

It seems like an interesting idea!

i have never thought about it so I'm not sure what will go in my coping box. But surely there's a device in that box which lets me contact you guys when i need to.

So i think I'm gonna take help of my friends @secretlyme and @nwaveo to put together one box for me

Until then, i guees i might borrow stuff from your box @secretlyme and from @nwaveo yours too when you put it up here. Hope you guys don't mind😬
