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.

The Importance of Taking Baby Steps

     Have you ever set a goal for yourself only to lose interest later down the line?   This happens to a lot of people and is usually the result of biting off more than you can chew.   Contrary to popular belief, multitasking is not something people can do.   If we don’t focus on one particular subject at a time, the quality of what we are doing will suffer.   This is why I encourage everybody to take baby steps when it comes to goal setting.   Do not set multiple goals at once and expect to follow through with every single one at once.   Doing this will decrease the motivation to continue because you feel less likely to succeed the more overworked you feel.      Think of the goals you have set for yourself in the past or present.  Now, take one particular goal and focus on it.  Keep the others in mind but focus on your chosen one in particular.  Once you succeed at achieving this goal, choose another one....

How Communication Can Repair & Strengthen Relationships

      Communication is the key to success in all aspects of life.  We often assume people know how we are feeling, but this is not the case.  Nobody truly understands how you are feeling unless you tell them.  To quote Eleanor Roosevelt, “You wouldn’t worry so much about what others think of you if you realize how seldom they do.”  The Importance of Communication      Without communication, we tend to overthink, overreact, and become emotional.   We lack answers so we make them up in our heads.   Small problems become big problems real quick, and we may lash out at the other person.   If you don’t know what’s going on in the other person’s head, how can you expect to understand their way of thinking?        When we communicate, we learn from the other person’s perspective.   Instead of using our own perception to justify something, we learn the real reason behind someone’s actions, ...

The Meaning of Thanksgiving - a Few Words to Remember

     Tonight's blog will be shorter than usual due to Thanksgiving, but I still wanted to leave you guys with a few things to remember.  Thanksgiving, or any holiday for that matter, is about family, friends, and making memories, wouldn't you agree?  Personally, I love being able to see my extended family, even if it's for a short while.  The holiday season is, to some, the only time they are able to get together with family and enjoy their company.  Sometimes we need to be reminded of this, so we remember to enjoy the time spent together.  Even if you do not get along with some of your family members, times like these are perfect for making amends if possible.  Do you have any memories like this?  If so, I would love to hear them in the comments.  Overall, remember that Thanksgiving is more than just about eating but sharing a moment with those you love.  Happy Thanksgiving everybody and I hope your day is filled with food, fa...
