How can I better cope with these kinds of challenges?

You may not need to use these techniques for many situations. You may feel confident overcoming many of life's difficulties with only a little bit of effort. But some situations may seem so overwhelming that stress gets in the way of solving the problem.

As with underlying beliefs, the best way to tackle your challenges is to figure out what stresses you out the most and deal with that first. If you face challenges head-on you can relieve your stress and gain the confidence to keep going. After that, you can go on to fix smaller problems that you have.

The next parts of this module will teach you different methods of coping.
