Are you worried about something right now? A problem in the office or at home? Paying your taxes? Too many bills? Not enough income?
We all have problems. Most of them aren’t fatal. With a modicum of time and effort, we can resolve them or at least make enough progress so that they no longer keep us up at night.
But sometimes, they have a nasty habit of sticking around.
Whatever you do, don’t dwell on them. Because what you focus on, grows.
Instead of focusing on your problems, focus on solutions.
Get the problems out of your head and onto paper or into your favorite app. Brainstorm all of the possible solutions. Write down your available resources. Note what you can do, not what you cannot.
Talk to smart people and get their suggestions. Talk to people who love you and are good listeners and ask them to listen to you talk it out.
Let your subconscious mind (your gut) help you figure out what to do and then do it. It will almost always be the right decision.
What if your gut tells you to do nothing? Then, do that. Sometimes problems go away by themselves. Sometimes the passage of time gives you perspective and makes you realize that the problem wasn’t as bad as you had imagined. And sometimes, time helps you to discover other solutions that weren’t possible before.
Finally, once you have made a decision about what to do and you’ve started doing it, turn your attention to all of the good things in your life.
Dwell on your blessings. Because what you focus on, grows.
