T.I.P. skills

When you are struggling to cope with intense emotions, you can use T.I.P. skills to calm these feelings.

T.I.P. stands for:

Temperature: Cold temperatures can help reduce our heart rate when we are feeling overwhelmed. Splash cool water on your face, take a cold shower, or go outside for a walk if the weather is chilly.
Intense exercise: Spend excess energy by engaging in an intense cardio exercise. This does not require a workout plan, just go for a run or do some jumping jacks.
Paced breathing: Take a deep breath in through your nose for four seconds and then breathe out through your mouth for six seconds.
