Question of the week: Calming down

MissysRider07 January 23rd, 2023

This week's Icebreaker is about calming (:

I have posted two other 'Question of the Weeks'.


Question 1:

What is your favorite way to calm down?


Question 2:

Do you have someone you talk to when you are calming down?/Do you like to talk to someone when calming down?


Question 3:

Do you listen to music/noise/sound while calming down?


Question 4.

If you had to give someone advice about calming down, what would you tell them?



My answers:

Q1: I like to sit in my room, in the dark with my windows open so I get fresh air.

Q2: I don't really like to talk to people unless I'm talking to my best friend about what is happening.

Q3: Sometimes I listen to music on low

Q4: Make sure if you are feeling upset, try your hardest to go somewhere quiet.


I hope you guys are doing well!

Take care <3

~Emma/Missy

@MissysRider07

1) Watch comedies or stand-ups. Laughter is the best medicine!

2) Hmm. I prefer writing in my journal honestly!

3) Music definitely helps.

4) Find out what coping approaches work best for you. It can be a trail and error kind of thing. But, finding what works well, is worth it.

Thanks for this Emma💜

I like that! I'm glad you have your ways of coping 😊

And no need to thank me! I needed to think about it myself and I like helping others to know what they need. Hence the last question

@MissysRider07 My favorite way to calm down is getting in touch with nature and doing self-care. It always helps me clear my mind. When I am emotionally charged I may listen to a song to help me project these feelings. The person I talk to in order to calm down is my boyfriend and it makes me feel better 99% of the time. I would suggest to people to do self-care every time they are upset and make sure to be surrounded by loved ones to give them strength!
