Blog #104 - Life's Problems and How to Handle Them

     What I worry about never seems to end up as the chaotic mess I expect it to result in.  Every time I panic or stress about something, I end up breathing a sigh of relief after handling the situation.  I then realize how pointless it was to even worry about something which ended up having a simple solution and wasn't even detrimental, to begin with.  We seem to perceive life as incredibly difficult when, in reality, the answers are simple and right in front of us.  Life is about adapting to your environments, figuring out how to handle problems correctly, and how to react accordingly based on the situation.  It all starts by having confidence in ourselves and realizing everything life throws at us has simple solutions if broken down properly.  We just have to be willing to accept this and dissect the problem before rushing into finding a solution.
     The key to life is knowing how to find a solution to multiple problems, not just one.  This has to do more with calming your mind than anything.  When we are in a situation that causes stress or anxiety, we have to perceive it as if we are on the outside looking in.  This allows us to see the simplicities before the problem is resolved rather than after the fact.  We will be able to receive that calming feeling prior to hurriedly rush and stress over the problem.  This will not only keep you from pulling your hair out but give you the opportunity to resolve the problem with a clear and focused mind.  This also allows the opportunity to fix the issue faster than you would have alternatively.  Everybody's method of relief will be different, but as long as you find it, you have already taken the first step into mastering life.
     We all feel more prepared when we have a plan, so take the first step and formulate one today.  There is always a way to fix a problem, so what is the point in worrying so much?  The reason we do is that we always expect a negative outcome.  We subconsciously tell ourselves we are not good enough for a positive outcome to occur, and even when they do, we don't congratulate ourselves.  The process repeats itself over and over again.  Break the cycle and find the confidence in yourself to believe in your abilities.  You are stronger than you believe and can accomplish more than you think.

Finding Your Creativity - 5 Methods

     Creativity is an invaluable resource and the backbone to human progression.   Every advancement made throughout human history was the result of someone’s creative and intellectual mind.   Planes, trains, and automobiles are great examples.   However, creativity is not used solely for the progression of mankind.   Creativity can also be used in an individual’s everyday life to make life easier and more enjoyable.   People use their creativity to solve problems, make their daily routine more efficient and less time consuming, as well as for entertainment purposes.   If you have ever made up a story in your head while bored you know what I am talking about, or if you played with action figures, inanimate objects, or roleplaying games.      As kids, we seem to have a limitless supply of creativity.   Much of that has to do with our curiosity, innocence, and lack of responsibility.   However, some ‘grow up’ a...

Five Important Life Lessons to Live By

     Today, I thought I would do something a little different.  Instead of discussing one topic, I thought I would share some life lessons based on my experience.  These nuggets of wisdom have helped me progress through life with an open, confident, and positive attitude.  I hope you benefit from them as much as I have.  Here are five important lessons to live by. 1. Speak up for Yourself      Far too many live in silence due to the fear of conflicting ideologies.  Because of this, they end up putting themselves second to other people, agreeing with them, and/or allowing themselves to be pushed around.  People can and will take advantage, and it is saddening to know there are people who allow this to happen.  Everyone deserves to be heard.  Do not be afraid to defend yourself or your opinions when need be just because it conflicts with another person.  They are not better than you nor are their beliefs.  ...

Three Effective Ways to Maintain Self Control When Provoked or Agitated

     Despite what people might think in the moment, getting angry at someone you dislike, being violent, or showing hostility does more harm than good.  We've all been there, a situation where we become so angry or annoyed that we just want to lash out.  Subconsciously we think, "this is the right thing to do," and our anger takes over.  I want you to remember a time this has happened and how it panned out.  I am sure there are instances where it is justifiable to lash out, but more often than not people regret their actions almost immediately.  We are left feeling foolish and our reputation takes a hit, the severity being dependent on the situation and the size of the blowup.  Due to the consequences, people tell themselves they will be more aware and prevent similar occurrences from happening again.  Unfortunately, not everybody learns from their mistakes.  We forget our past actions far too quickly and often repeat mistakes....
