Coping (psychology)

Coping is the way we handle stressful situations. When we feel stressed or overwhelmed, it can help us to use coping strategies to make us feel better. Coping strategies are things we can do to relax and help us better manage our stress. Some examples are: exercising, deep breathing, getting good sleep, talking to a friend or family member, or doing something that makes you feel calm, like reading a book or listening to music. When we use coping strategies, it can help us to better manage our stress and help us to get through tough times.
