Acceptance Is Coping

• Effective coping is basically learning to accept the problem.
• The rule is, learn to live with a problem when you can not fix it.

Perspective-Taking Goes Beyond Coping

• Perspective-taking is moving away from being stuck on the problem by moving to a more productive view of the situation.
• For example, a problem might be viewed as providing an opportunity, a lesson, or a chance to improve your skills.
• This is not reframing or covering because the problem remains the same.
• What changes is not the problem but your attitude about the problem.
• This attitude change leads to both coping and problem-solving choices.

Problem-Solving Is Beyond Coping

• Problem-solving is about fixing the problem while standing it as it is.
• Problem-solving faces the problem and overcomes it through better choices and work.
