Positive thinking

Things which help me get through stressful times are:
The sayings "when life throws you a lemon, make lemonade" and "live well, laugh often, love much". Setting myself goals & putting on feel good songs or remembering funny moments. I find -you're never too old- building lego rather therapeutic, for some reason.
Which method(s) do others on here use as a coping mechanism?

Some things that help me are going outside, colouring and listening to music.
"High Hopes" by Kodaline, "Rise Up" by Andra Day, "Change" by Taylor Swift, "Crystals" by Of Monsters and Men, and "You Need Me, I Don't Need You" by Ed Sheeran :P
As a big music junkie, I definitely have some albums and tracks I like to go back to. I also find writing quite therapeutic, sometimes in the form of a poem or article-type thing (that I'll likely never show anyone else), though usually just in the form of a massive rant/offloading session.
I love how some folks like to dig down in to some creative roots like colouring, Lego, etc. You're definitely never too old. :d
