Coping skills

Mature adults have developed their coping skills and are not as reactive and stressful all the time as the young population, which are yet to understand steadfastness, resilience or the benefits of a calm mind.

When a person has successfully managed challenging situations, new problems are...

1. Take care of yourself by practising mindfulness, meditation, yoga, or deep breathing.
2. Focus on what you are able to control, and regulate it, like watching less news.
3. Ask for support from family or a therapist.

Emotionally intelligent people have high standards for themselves and set an example for others to follow. 

They take initiative and have great decision making and problem-solving skills.
