## Resource

This episode breaks down the coping mechanisms most twenty-somethings use when life feels overwhelming and what those habits actually say about you. I run you through the top 10 coping mechanisms ranked in order from worst to healthiest while calling you out in the process. Consider this a wake up call to start paying attention to how you cope with stress, discomfort, and hard emotions so you can begin replacing the habits that hurt you with ones that actually help. Key Takeaways: Coping mechanisms are not necessarily good or bad, they are survival tools you picked up for a reason Everyone has coping mechanisms, whether they realize it or not The habits you reach for under stress say a lot about what you are avoiding or soothing. You cannot eliminate a coping mechanism without replacing it with something else Some coping mechanisms look productive or healthy but still keep you stuck Helpful Resources:  Let’s chat: https://calendly.com/coach_jessdiamond/success   Email me: coach.jessdiamond@gmail.com Tedx Tickets March 28th: tedxsugarcreekwomen.com   Use code: VIP25 at checkout 3 Ways to maximize your 5-9 after your 9-5: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/maximize   Contribute to an episode: https://forms.gle/QwvBrZFbZXRdCjQv9   Be a Guest: https://forms.gle/oiLVCbrydjzaK5pq5   Music: Hide and Seek by Free Music https://soundcloud.com/fm_freemusic   Music Promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons/Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US
