Welcome to the HINESIGHTS podcast.
Kevin Hines:
What's cracking, Nope Nation? It's your friendly neighborhood, Kevin Hines, and this is the psych hub, brain health tip of the week. Today, I'm providing you with five coping strategies that work for me. Don't exhaust your emotional reserve, number one. Try to find balance between happy and serious conversations. Number two. Don't get lost in motivational books and interviews. Number three, it's OK not to be OK. An external source of inspiration can sometimes be distracting. Read and watch in moderation, give yourself breaks, take a walk, get dinner, don't skip out on sleep, and whatever it is, can wait until tomorrow. Talk to someone, or if you don't feel like picking up the phone, write it down. Take time to develop your go-to self-care list. Write it down on a Post-it note and keep it at your desk or make a note on your phone. These things can all help you find a better life.
