Daily Positive Thought Project- 3 steps to handle any problem

All of us face situations every day. We also have the capacity to handle them and here are three simple steps that each of us can use to assist us in dealing with the problems we face in life.

First we have to clearly identify the problem or obstacle we are facing.  it is pretty common to build a simple problem up into something that it isn’t. To let our imaginations run wild and soon we have built our problem into an insurmountable thing.  Be objective and write down the factors involved in the problem.   When you look at things as they really are, not what you think, or somebody else thinks they might be, we can handle them much easier.

Second, we have to determine what the right action is for us. An action is always the cure for fear. When you are doubting yourself or seeing something in front of you that maybe is intimidating you.  Determine the action you can take.  If you lost your job, evaluate where you can most easily make money now. If a relationship has ended, decide what if anything you can do or to just move on.  Whatever the obstacle, look for the action that will allow you to get around, through or over the problem.

The third is to endure the solution that results from the actions you took. It isn’t always easy, but if you learn to accept the results of the way things are, then you have the ability to learn from what has happened, become a wiser human and apply those lessons to your life in the future.

There you have it a simple plan to try to navigate the stream of life a little bit easier. Or at least in one piece. Some lessons in life hurt, some are not that bad, but all have just about as much value as you choose to give them.
