Lesson Overview

2.22 – Emergency Coping Tools You Can Use Anywhere: Coping tools work best when they fit in your pocket or mind. Deep breathing, counting objects, or holding something cool can stop spiraling thoughts fast. Imagine blowing up a balloon slowly to pace your breathing. Name five things you see, four you feel, three you hear, two you smell, one you taste—this grounds you anywhere. Movement, like squeezing fists or stretching fingers, releases trapped tension. Carry a calming scent or texture to redirect focus. Having a mantra such as “I will get through this” strengthens your mindset. Practice these tools daily so they work better under pressure. If one fails, try another—flexibility is key. Emergency coping isn’t about erasing pain; it’s about surviving its peak safely. Over time, these techniques become automatic body armor. You are building a toolkit that travels with you, turning every space into a potential safe zone. Preparedness is empowerment in motion.
