Glitter cool down jars make a great fidget tool. Shaking them in different directions and watching the glitter slowly settle helps with resetting your mood from agitation to calm. Plus, it's fun to make in multiple colors. Give it a try. You can make one two or three colored bottles with glitter, glitter glue, and foil sequins in a rainbow of colors or metallic colors to give it texture. You can also use Elmer's clear glue to thicken the water and make the glitter settle slower. You want to make sure you fill the bottle to the absolute top and put super glue gel around the entire inside lid and tighten it down as tight as you can. I found all the supplies I needed at Walmart and Dollar Tree so it's fairly cheap to make. My favorite bottle to use is Dr. Pepper because of the swirls on the outside of the bottle, plus I get to drink Dr. Pepper. #glitter #glittercooldown #fidget #fidgets #fidgettoy #glitterbottles #therapy #therapeutic #copingstrategies #copingtools #treatment #recovery #healing #strategy

Coping Tool # 6 Creating Realistic, But Positive Expectations
Sometimes when we are procrastinating on a task, the emotional feeling can be anxiety and the thoughts we tell ourselves can be sabotaging.
“This is going to suck.”
“I am dreading this.”
“What’s the point? I am just going to screw this up.”
“I have never done this before, it’s probably going to be a train wreck.”
Whether it is working out, doing a school project, meeting new friends, or working on a self improvement project, our negative expectations can create difficult emotional responses that lead to procrastination.
The more we procrastinate, the harsher our language and expectations become.
We tend fulfill our own negative expectations. The experience is very unpleasant, because we expected the experience to be unpleasant.
So we can reprogram our brains by creating Realistic, but Positive Expectations.
Our expectations should be realistic because, we will greatly disappoint ourselves if they are not.
I am a beginning runner and it is not realistic for me to win 5k races. If my expectation is to win, then of course I will be disappointed.
However if my expectation is to participate and beat my own my own times, that is realistic.
Also let’s be real honest. Our negative expectations are usually NOT realistic. Our negative thought patterns create negative expectations that are quite different from reality.
So I can rethink my expectations and create Realistic, but Positive Expectations.
Here are some examples I wrote;
“Quitting marijuana is going to be very hard, but I can be proud of myself for trying.”
“This project is a lot of work, but I will learn a lot from doing the project.”
“Even though I only will only know a couple of people at this party, I can enjoy making new friends.”
“Losing weight, will be very hard, but I can enjoy new foods, improved health, and feel better about my appearance.”
“Going on this 50 mile bike ride will be hard, but I can enjoy the trip and my increased confidence about my endurance.”
“I have never fixed my own car before, but I can do it with help of more experienced people and repair guides.”
I might recommend writing the new Realistic, but Positive Expectations down and refer to them often. That way we are retraining our brains to think differently. Think differently in a way that helps feel good about ourselves and what we do.
