3 Simple Steps To Solving Problems
You can move beyond your stuck states by contemplating all the
possible consequences of your own particular situation.
What is it that you want to work in your life?
What inner obstacles prevent you from achieving the successful
outcome you desire?
Once you have confronted your own fears, pulled the emotional
skeleton's out of your mental closet, then you will be ready to
take stock of your current situation, look at it objectively,
and try out new strategies.
You may have to pull on a few resources to manage the situation.
Thus, there are several stages of problem-solving.
First, get clear on your vague fears and imaginings. Bring them
out in the open. Confront them. See what is really going on.
Unless you can ask the right question, which comes from getting
the right perspective on the issue, you will not be able to
start looking for the right answer.
Second, once you have some inner clarity, freed from emotional
congestion, look at your problems objectively, empirically. Ask
yourself, "What needs to happen here to make things work out?"
Ask an objective, matter-of-fact, how-to question? Avoid
subjective, why questions.
And third, apply what resources you can harness to resolving
your problem. Make a list of all your resources. This
includes
people you can query or books, articles, or audio-video
equipment you can learn from.
Above all, find your way back to faith in your situation. When
you believe in yourself, when you can rekindle the flame of hope
in your heart, when you can reanimate your brain and your
nervous system - then the creative solution to your problem will
arise. Once you clear the vague, illusive, obstructive emotional
blocks, your mind will function clearly and well.
Once you confront a problem head on, you're halfway there to
resolving it. Turning your back on problems, avoiding them, and
procrastinating only makes them more substantial and terrifying.
Once you face your fears, you can begin to solve your problem.
Once you have brought your fears to light, courage returns, and
with courage comes hope, and with hope, creativity, boldness,
and magic.
