Lets face it…
Life is not easy and is filled with many problems.
However, if you don’t want to lose motivation and continue on achieving your goals, then learning how to solve your problems as simply as possible is going to be critical to your well-being and mental health.
It is possible to solve your problems simply even if life is complicated and everything prompts us to complicate it even more.
In life, we have the art of transforming simple situations into complicated ones due to the fact that the mind reacts from fear and can over-complicate things.
Why, are we complicating our lives?
Does it come from us, from our education, from life, or is our brain programmed this way?
The fact is that we now live in a very busy and complicated world where we are constantly inundated with many issues and are therefore being overwhelmed with situations that can cause problems in our life. It is especially difficult when you need to combine your work and study.
Because they are stressful, most people tend to avoid these situations until it becomes highly problematic.
How to solve a problem in life?
Finding a solution requires a different perspective than the one you used to define the problem. So it requires a different intellectual approach: The act of solving a problem creatively is a different function of your brain than it allows you to define it analytically. The obstacle is not the problem, nor the relationship you have with it.
You won’t be able to solve it by keeping your nose stuck on it. The solution is often to move away from it and clear your mind to identify and invent a solution.
Therefore, you should see a problem-solving method.
How can I solve it?
- I am using a problem solving method.
- I stop thinking about the problem and focus on the solutions.
- I ask myself the right questions.
- I take action to solve my problem.
Some examples of questions:
- How can I solve it?
- What are the solutions available to me?
- Who can I contact to resolve it?
- What means do I have at my disposal to solve this problem?
People are especially sensitive to problems at a young age. Students are just starting their adult lives a little at a time, and this is very frightening. One of the best solutions to situations like this is to learn from other people’s experiences.
(Note: If you want some ideas on how to go about this, here are some essays that can help you. Now lots of problem and solution examples to choose from are available absolutely free.)
By stopping, (i.e. talking about the problem), which only makes things worse, it is better to spend your energy on solution-oriented thinking.
Change your thinking about the problem
When you are faced with a problem you often get stuck without even finding the beginnings of a solution. This is often explained by the fact that you are caught, even stuck in the situation, stuck in the emotional and the subjective. Taking a step back and taking a step back, changing your mind, occupying your mind with something else, increases your chances of finding a way out. Whether it’s the movies, a game of chess, or a bike ride, you need to excite the areas of your brain that help creativity. Often these will be free activities, in all cases an activity far away or even the opposite of the one in which your problem is found.
In fact, you change your point of view and go look at it from another angle, and now discover flaws in its difficulty, beginnings of passage, trails of light that were not visible before.
Explore unknown territory
You may be facing an issue that another has experienced that is similar enough that you can borrow the solution. But the solution may not be what you need. Your talent as a problem “solver” will consist in adapting it to fit it into your approach. Which company or person has experienced such a problem? How can you tailor its solution to your situation? Not only do you find inspiration by examining others, but you confront your brain with other paths.
Do some brainstorming
Brainstorming requires being in a group to brainstorm ideas. While waiting to bring people together, try brainstorming yourself, or over-activating your brain. Here are some ways to provoke a “storm” in your neurons and find a solution. Give him another name, try to knock him out all at once, or just laugh at him. You surely have to drive out of your mind dogmas and preconceived ideas, principles that prevent you from changing the way you see and act. Free yourself from habits and thought patterns, from psychological blockages to consider an effective way of thinking about your problem. It’s not easy on your own, but it will get you going.
Try to put yourself in your problem’s shoes, oversimplify it or change the order of the parts, ask yourself how others other than you would do, or just imagine how a child would approach the issue. And if you don’t succeed, quickly create your creativity group to brainstorm and you will see that you will find solutions very quickly.
Often by dint of seeing the problem (s), we only see the problem and it is impossible for us to see the solutions.
So we worsen the situation instead of improving it.
And that’s a big deal, because the majority of people do this.
In addition, here are some tips for an everyday problem.
1 – Be pragmatic
To solve a complex problem, it is not necessary to see it in its entirety, but to break it down into sub-problem.
This applies to all areas of life, personal or professional.
Take, for example, the goals you want to achieve.
First, you need to set an overall medium to long term goal.
The task could quickly become insurmountable. As the days go by, you will feel like you are moving further and further away.
You will lose confidence in yourself and you may give up before you can realize it.
If instead, you break down your goal into smaller goals, succeeding each other.
So, you will achieve your overall goal without realizing it, just while keeping your motivation intact.
In all areas of life, it is the same and our life would be improved.
2 – Do not wait until the problem is insurmountable.
As soon as you have a problem, resolve it immediately.
Look for the solutions, do it, help you if possible.
3 – Don’t hide the problem.
There is no point in hiding the problem under the rug, you will only make the situation worse.
No, on the contrary, keep ahead of you, clearly visible while taking action to resolve it.
4 – Lying leads nowhere.
It is not by lying to yourself or by lying to others that you can find a solution.
Also, it will seriously damage your reputation and others will not trust you anymore.
5 – Use your tools at your disposal.
There are tons of tools that we can use to solve our problems.
You just have to look for them to find them.
Take action and don’t wait for them to be brought to you on a silver platter.
6 – Stop procrastinating or pushing back.
Delaying or postponing until the next day is not the best solution, it will not help in solving your problems.
7 – Set up the tips.
If you are given a piece of advice and it turns out to be effective, it should be implemented and used.
Because knowing it is not useful, what is is using it.
