The ability to overlook life’s many challenges is what determines our growth. Everyone has their cross to bear, some more burdensome than others, and the key is to find ways to manage our stress or simply take our minds off our issues when a solution is not always readily available.

People cope

using a myriad of outlets, some good and others…dubious in nature. Ideally, we

should attempt to work out solutions that allow us the best case outcome or the

closest thing to it.

Peruse the list

below and see if your method of coping made the list.

1. Alcohol: Bottom’s up! Some try to drown

their sorrows in a bottle.

2. Music: It is said to tame the savage of

beast. Indeed, music transcends many barriers including language and even mood.

3. YouTube: I guarantee that if you need

something to occupy your mind, just browse through this media and you will

easily lose track of time.

4. Sex: It can deliver some much need

serotonin, the happy drug your body releases which makes it all worthwhile.

5. Pornography: It may not be for

everyone, but we’ve gotten zero complaints from those who resort to it.

6. Reading: Why not escape to a faraway

place and immerse yourself in plots and characters that make your imagination

run wild?

7. Sleep: When you are asleep you cannot

worry about your problem. It is as simple as that.

8. Meditation: It clears your mind and

helps you to focus on the bigger picture and not be so stuck on what you cannot

change.

9. Yoga: It strengthens you body and also

helps you focus your energy on positive matters

10. Exercise:  Why not burn off some excessive energy and

make yourself look good, if only for some time. The problem has not gone but at

least you can try to look good while resolving it.
