1. Don't ask, don't get. If you want or need something, ask for it. In the vast majority of cases, the worst outcome is that no one responds (if someone says no, at least we're having a conversation). If you're feeling like you have no real reason to expect to get what you're asking for, don't let that hold you back. It certainly doesn't hold my kids back at the grocery store when they ask for a cookie. There's absolutely zero reason for me to buy them one and they know I'm likely to say no, but they also know that the number of cookies that I buy unsolicited is pretty much zero.
2. Stop being so self-conscious - people are too busy being self-conscious and monitoring themselves to scrutinize you the way you think they are. This one comes from a zumba class I used to take. The instructor started every class by reminding us to be boisterous and have fun, and not to be self-conscious about it because if you look in the big mirror on the wall, everyone's just looking at themselves, not at you and your shenanigans.
3. The best way to get yourself to eat more veggies is not to have Doritos in the house. Ok, maybe that's just me. Still, it's way easier to exercise impulse control once a week at the store than hourly in my home office.

Hardships are something we get in small doses throughout our lives. And everyone has own tricks, own cheat codes for making it out of daily troubles. Last week I did a research and here is what other people posted on social media about how they cope with life in their tricky way. Let us know by commenting here
