What percentage, in a class of 30 students, will agree with you that mathematics is a great subject? You may answer “around 10 to 35%” and that is all. True, most kids today aren't thrilled to solve mathematical equations not because they don’t know the processes involved, but because of the lack of interest in it. –Self Improvement
Similarly, our daily activities do not comprise 100% joy and 0% problems. At times, we have more problems than joy. Fortunately, some individuals are skilled at handling problems. Want to know their secrets?
Well, carefree people, as some might call them, have one thing in common: optimism. It doesn't mean they never have problems. Try remembering a colleague, a relative, a friend, or someone from your community who has the brightest smile at the start of a day, until the very end of the day. How many times did you see that person frown? Carefree people are fun to be with because their attitude is contagious. Have you tried asking them how they carry their problems lightly? Below are their secrets:
1. Learn to control your feelings by separating negative feelings from positive thoughts. This is the first step in solving problems. Only after you have cleared your mind of unnecessary thoughts can you start solving your problems accordingly.-Self Improvement
2. Treat each problem as a challenge and opportunity for self-improvement.
3. Free that scapegoat attitude. Are you pointing your finger or blaming others for mishaps? Take responsibility for your mistakes. No one is perfect, so never put the blame on others.
4. Use a pen and paper, and rate the severity of your problem and possible solutions to it. Probability law principles will allow you to evaluate how far you have thought of resolving your problem.
5. Keep a journal and treat it as a “secret friend” who is always willing to listen to your grievances. Write your feelings freely.
6. Start a hobby that's fun and stimulating to you, for this will help you lessen or minimize stress in your life.
7. Take time off from work and create variations in your daily schedule. Relax and check out the best movies in town. Travel and meet new wonderful people. You will find these activities worthwhile in the long run.
The above tips will help you optimize those positive feelings of yours. But, say you are already consumed by a problem. Here are the 1-2-3 steps to solve your problem:-Self Improvement
1. Determine the root cause of the problem. If you think it is difficult, ask hundreds of why’s and what’s and you will soon find out the cause.
2. Think, strategize, and act toward resolution.
3. Develop a strong desire to solve the problem.
4. Review the situation and avoid repeating the same mistakes committed before.
Consider that everybody experiences problems many times in their lives, but problems are problems. They aren’t there to annoy you; but problems are created when you cannot accept your limitations. Once you accept your limitations, problem solving is just a 1-2-3 step, hassle-free, and a life-sharpening experience. Hence, never consume or lock yourself in your room when a problem strikes. Think that problems are states of your being limited to something you need the most. But if you cannot have that important thing, accept it. Let go and you will free yourself of worries. Remember, less worries mean less problems. If you think that you really want some time out because of problems, consider that there is another room available for you called “improvement.”
