Amused Mastery - Approaching a situation from a higher perspective that lets you appreciate the light and humor in it, while simultaneously conveying a depth of insight that transcends those caught up in the immediacy of the circumstances.

"My ways are higher than your ways; my thoughts are higher than your thoughts." When we let ourselves escape the immediate frustrations we deal with and see from God's perspective, our attitude in difficulty shifts from frustration to appreciation and intrigue.

Outcome Independence - Not getting hung up on rejection or acceptance on a particular occasion.

"Whether you turn to the right or to the left your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, 'This is the way, walk in it.'" There's no one clear, definitive outcome. People make choices and God leads us on. Don't get hung up on what choices you make and whether they're right or wrong, and certainly don't get in a tizzy over someone else's choices.

Agree and Amplify - A technique for responding to accusations or conflict that combines fogging (agree) with cocky/funny by amplifying the thing you agree with to an absurd degree so as to make light of the accusation/conflict rather than getting upset by it.

"For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value ... As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!" Jewish converts were accusing the Gentiles of being ungodly because they would not get circumcized. Paul pressure flips and says, in essence, "If you're so hung up on circumcision, better go cut the whole thing off." A godly man is not easily angered; rather, he can maintain good humor in the midst of difficult situations.

Frame - Your best self as projected to those around you.

See Jesus any time the Pharisees try to challenge him. He does not cave to trick questions, but instead conveys the point he wants everyone else to hear, and while refusing to cave to the pressure of the pharisees he draws everyone else into seeing things from his perspective and being impressed by him, making himself the center of everyone's story rather than each person being caught up in their own life affairs.

I'm not sure how you see these concepts as "not separate from each other." Yes, one naturally helps the others, but they are completely distinct in themselves.
