How can we learn to reframe those thoughts that induce stress into healthier thought patterns that curb or lessen the release of cortisol? Here’s an example: A student in my online Spanish university-level class emails me complaining about the class, an “unfair” grade, the rigorous nature of the class, due dates, excuses for not completing the work, the online language laboratory we use, or his or her experience with technical support on a given issue.

I try to encourage myself that I’m putting out fires, but still I’m not exactly enjoying the experience. Too often, there is a cost in emotional energy, and I need my emotional energy tank to be full, not depleted as a result of answering emails! After prayer and greater consideration, I isolated 5 tips to help me foster new coping mechanisms when dealing with complaints and negativity. 5 STEPS TO HANDLING COMPLAINTS & NEGATIVITY WITH GRACE
