What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?

Well, first, I never had too many issues with negative feelings or at least negative thoughts that lasted a long time. Also, now that I have retired, I have more time to relax and take a perspective. I guess the most I can relate to this was just life kicking you in the nuts regularly: car issues, home repairs, debt or bills, kids, and their safety, but those are general things we all go through. I am also mostly introverted, so I never got mixed up in social drama. Mostly, I just try to put things in perspective: things will pass. Unless they are life-threatening or pose a safety concern, I try not to dwell on the issue and just keep busy. Sometimes things seem worse in your mind than they actually are, and I’m fortunate to have a good support system.
