Often I ask clients what their hobbies are. Hobbies can often alleviate stress when you don’t feel like utilizing a coping skill, such as box breathing, or PMR. I often hear,” I don’t have time.” I agree it is hard to find time to do the things you love doing with such a busy life. However, I like to describe having pockets of time to do the things we love.  Spending 20, 10, or even 5 minutes on something that helps alleviate stress is better than not doing anything at all. It’s not all or nothing! It’s something.
