What’s your coping mechanism?

For all reactions, there is an equal and opposite reaction. And when missing something (happiness, love, or connection), there’s an equal reaction elsewhere. Coping mechanisms are often the result of these gaps whether they’re from childhood, relationships, or friendships. 

Some of the most common coping mechanisms in America today are binge-eating and drinking. It’s extremely difficult to break free once you’re inside the loop. To escape you’ll need the right tools. Understanding that you have coping mechanisms is the first step to discovering where they come from. 

In today’s episode of the Becoming Kings Podcast, I sit down with Chris Magryta to discuss the coping mechanism epidemic, discovering how to break free, and the vitality of understanding where they begin. In addition, Chris shares a simple tip to expand your tool kit and the key to maintaining relationships.
