Lesson Overview
1.11 – The Difference Between Coping and Thriving: Coping helps you get through a hard moment. Thriving helps you grow from it. Coping tools include deep breathing, taking breaks, and asking for help. Thriving adds goals, meaning, and purpose to your life. Coping is the first step when stress hits. Thriving is the next step when the storm starts to pass. You can do both in the same week or even the same day. Learning which step you need keeps you from burning out. Build a coping kit for tough days and a growth plan for calm days. Over time, coping leads to thriving more often.
