My Coping List 50
Do you know the word "coping"? I have explained it before in an article about sticking stickers everywhere.

Coping refers to conscious actions or thoughts to deal with stress. Specifically, it aims to reduce or eliminate stress by resolving stressors, controlling emotional responses to stress, or changing one's perspective on stress.
Details: Meaning "to deal with" or "to get through":
The word "coping" is derived from the English word "cope," which means "to deal with."
Actions to reduce stress:
There are various coping methods to reduce stress, such as problem-focused, emotion-focused, and stress-relief-focused.
Problem-focused:
Actions to resolve the source of stress or improve the situation.
Emotion-focused:
Actions to control or organize the emotions generated by stress.
Stress-relief-focused:
Actions to relieve stress through relaxing activities like hobbies or exercise.
Utilization in companies:
Companies may conduct training on coping or establish consultation systems to reduce employee stress.
Individual utilization:
Individuals can also try various coping methods when they feel stressed, tailored to their own personality and situation.
In short, it refers to methods and ways of thinking to reduce stress when it builds up. The more of these you have, the easier it is to deal with stress, right?
There is also the term "coping list."
Coping list:
A coping list is a list that makes it easier to manage stress by writing down your own stress-coping methods.
Having many items on this list is helpful for reducing stress. Apparently, companies even have training sessions on coping.
I made a coping list in an article a long time ago.

Ideally, I would like to have about 100. When I looked for small things, I found surprisingly many. If it makes you feel refreshed when you do it, even housework like cooking is fine.
If anyone feels like trying to make one, please use the tag #MyCopingList and I will go check it out. I'm thinking of creating a magazine if a lot of them are collected, so please feel free to join in!
