- Its Wellness WednesdayToday's Tip: Watch out for Avoidance Coping!We've all done it! A project, a task or even a tough conversation that causes some stress, seems too BIG or overwhelming to break down or tackle. So instead, we may put our energies elsewhere or procrastinate in the hopes that the stress will go away.IT DOESN'T!!Avoidance behaviors don't solve the problem and are less effective than more proactive strategies that could potentially minimize stress in the future.How can we make the shift?-Recognize when you may be doing this.-Try active coping strategies.. which take small steps towards the thing you may be avoiding.-Ask for help! Find someone in your life you you trust and share your intention to work on breaking down avoidant coping... one step at a time!
