The best definition here is: the thoughts and actions used to deal with changes in life.

A coping strategy is learned behavior that we all use in our daily lives to deal with life as a whole. A strategy includes how we assess a situation and then how we react to it. A positive coping strategy would be one that benefits our well being and enables us to stay healthy and out of harms way whereas a negative coping strategy would keep us stuck in a bad position mentally and physically. A positive example would be reading a book or listening to music when you feel stressed and a negative example would be drinking too much alcohol or drug taking.
