Coping is matter of dealing well with life's stresses and strains, not dominating them and not being overwhelmed by them.
Improve Your Coping Skill
Accept Responsibility. This is your own life. Acknowledge that you are responsible for your life. You choose how your life goes by the choices you make, the things you feel and think. Most importantly, you should know to point your finger at yourself about the consequences of your actions/choices.
For
example, if you come home from work fully intending to write for two
hours, but then get side-tracked talking to your sister on the phone and
don’t end up writing, you can’t blame your sister for you not getting
your writing done. You need to accept that it was your choice to talk to
your sister, rather than to tell her you’d call her back after you
finished writing. - See more at:

Be Objective. Step back and look at your life situation through changing your perspective. It is a very valuable tool for understanding a situation better and avoiding false views. If you look at a room from a different position, you will see different things.
A wise old monk realized one of the key secrets of life -
change yourself and the world changes around you. Or better still; change your
focus about life and life changes.
Inner Resources. It is a resource provided by the mind or one's personal capabilities. You have to know yourself and be confident with it to face the challenges in your life. You don't always need to have an expert by your side. What you really need is be surrounded by the people you trust and to feel that you are loved. Having their support would give you an extra energy to cope up with your problems.
Positive Approach. There is always an effective way to deal with each situation. Positive emotions makes us more resilient. Our emotions affect our long term well-being but remember to bee Realistic. Do not expect too much of yourself. Set attainable goals. Know what you can do and push harder but know your limit. Being disappointed with yourself because you expected too much would not be good for you.
If the first solution does not work, try again. The fact that you acted counts. There are several factors that would affect you and your problems. Being flexible would also mean that you would be able to deal with them much easier. Take one step at a time. Several problems is overwhelming. Choose the first step necessary to deal with one problem and work on the rest in easy stages.
Be Healthy. Good health increases your stress tolerance and it also helps you to think clearly. You can even assess your situation while jogging. We all know that there are lots and lots of benefits in exercise. Relax. Schedule regular recreation, take restful vacations, and learn relaxation techniques. This can also be a reward for yourself after you successfully solved your problems. This way, you won't over fatigue yourself.
I think that's all for today. Thank you for reading this!
