What are Coping Skills?
What are ‘Coping Skills’ and How to Use Them
Life is filled with challenging circumstances that are beyond our control. However, we do have the ability to manage our reactions to these challenges. Enhancing our coping mechanisms is crucial for our mental well-being, as it allows us to distance ourselves from our initial responses and create room for a more effective approach.
For instance, if you're feeling frustrated at work, your initial response might be to resign or send several angry emails. This might provide temporary relief, but it won't benefit you in the future. You might find yourself questioning your actions once the situation calms down. A more effective approach would be to use coping strategies to ease or divert your frustration, allowing you to respond thoughtfully rather than impulsively.
