Craig Melvin Discusses His Techniques For Coping With Stress

"When I put (the phone) down when I'm around my kids, I can really enjoy them more, which makes me happy. I love spending times with my kids," he said.

One thing Melvin has had to really focus on is finding a right balance in his busy life. With so many responsibilities it can be easy to become overwhelmed. He's realized that the time when he is the most stressed and anxious is when the balance has grown out of whack. He might be spending too much energy focused on his professional life and not taking enough time away to simply relax and be with his family. When Melvin gets the balance back on track, he finds himself much happier.

"I realize this is something that everyone struggles with. Balancing work, play, kids, work and wife. It's hard," he noted. "I'm generally a happy person, but when I have found myself to be unhappy, it's because my balance is off. I'm spending too much time doing this, and not enough time doing this."

Even when he's having a bad day, he can typically remedy the situation by spending time with his family. If he is not able to be with them at that exact moment, he scrolls through pictures and videos of them on his phone to remind himself of what is really important in his life.
