    Campus Mind Works Coping Tools


    In addition to these many resources, the following tools can be helpful in developing a new routine, coping with the changes due to the pandemic, and overall wellness. We also have checklists that you may find helpful.

    • Journaling
      • Journaling is a great positive coping skill to practice and is particularly helpful given the change in routine. Not sure where to start? Use this document as a guide!
    • Cognitive Distortions
      • Everyone experiences negative thoughts and this can be especially true during a crisis. Sometimes these negative thoughts can lead to unhealthy thinking patterns that are overly pessimistic; we call these distortions because they are typically not accurate. This tool can help you challenge these thought patterns and think of situations rationally. While this tool is targeted for those with a psychiatric disorder, the skills in this tool are widely applicable.
    • Sleep Diary
      • When there is a major change in routine, it can be difficult to maintain a regular sleep schedule. If you are experiencing difficulty with sleep, this worksheet can be helpful in tracking your sleep habits.
    • Comprehensive Daily Self-Care
      • Self-care is always important and setting self-care goals can be helpful. This tool will help you summarize different components of your self-care routine.
    • Weekly Goal-Setting
      • This tool helps you create weekly self-care goals for the various components of your self-care program – physical activity, fun, eating right, support from others, relaxation, and your own goal. 
    • Weekly Schedule to Increase Motivation
      • Finding motivation to complete tasks can be difficult, particularly when you’re trying to develop a new routine. This tool can help you find daily motivation by identifying activities you enjoy to spark action to take care of responsibilities.
    • Grounding Exercises
      • Sometimes feelings can be overwhelming and can be disruptive and upsetting. Mental and physical grounding exercises can help you manage these feelings by staying in the “here and now” and regain a feeling of safety and control. These exercises can be done anywhere with a little practice!
    • Mindfulness Exercises
      • Much like grounding exercises, mindfulness exercises can help you stay in the “here and now” while also reflecting on your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Consider including these exercises into your daily self-care routine!
