Deep dives
Coping is like learning how to surf
Coping with emotions and unexpected experiences in life is similar to learning how to surf. Both require practice, adaptability, and managing reactions to the ups and downs. Avoidance is not an effective coping strategy, as it reinforces the difficulty and can make it harder to face similar challenges in the future. Instead, starting small and setting achievable goals can build resilience and confidence. Viewing emotions as a skill to be developed and knowing that progress takes time and effort is key.
