How to Handle Problems like a pro!

April 10, 2013 By Karen Leave a Comment

Here are the best tips I know to handle problems like a pro.

  • Problem and SolutionThe only people that don’t have problems are dead people, so, accept your problems and trust that they beat the alternative.
  • Get bigger than your problem. People who are living a great life aren’t as affected by their problems as people who aren’t living a great life. It’s like this: If you only have one cookie and mud gets splattered on it, it’s going to feel way more significant than if you have a whole box of cookies. Get living a juicy life and your problems won’t matter so much.
  • Plan for problems.  Anticipate snags and address them in advance.
  • Trust that solving a problem will evolve you. “What just about breaks you, makes you.” It’s so true.
  • Ask for help.  There is always someone else who knows the answer to what’s problematic for us. Find that person and involve them.
  • Write down 5 small baby steps you can do to start taking the problem on. (You’ll be surprised how effective this is.)
  • Know that everyone has problems and right now there are others on the planet facing what you are. This will help you feel less hard done by and alone. 
  • Containerize the problem. Decide to have a great day or life anyway.
  • Write down 5 crazy, outside the box solutions. It’s amazing how creative thinking can sometimes give us fresh new ideas.
  • Journal 5 ways your ‘Best Self’ might benefit from this problem. A communication problem with a child could give you greater empathy skills, a financial issue might make you more clear on monetary goals, a health problem could make you more committed to your physical wellbeing.  Life is continually trying to evolve us. Don’t argue─grow!

Hope these were helpful. Please contact me if you’d like a complimentary idea session on how you can handle your own problems better and live YOUR BEST LIFE. Karen@personalbest.org
