Today’s challenge: look at a “problem” with a different perspective

Published January 3, 2012 | By Debra

We are bigger than our problems.

This statement is absolutely true. We are bigger than our problems. The challenge comes when we are mired deep in it (whatever it is that is concerning us) and we can not see the proverbial light on the other side.

If you have a problem, worry, challenging situation, or someone in your life does, try this:

look at it from a different perspective.

Take a step back and remove yourself from it from a moment.

Write it down in your journal. Ask the divine for some guidance and then let it go for a while.

Once you’ve given yourself a break from it, inspiration may suddenly come to you (our minds often work that way).

You can also do something counter intuitive or contrarian just to see what shakes up.

What haven’t you tried? Ask some different questions. Or leave it alone (it may just resolve itself) So much of what we worry about anyway does not ever happen.

We will part company with a couple of ideas:

If you always do what you’ve always done you will always get what you’ve always got.

If you have something in your life you don’t want or you don’t have something that you do want, it is better to do nothing than to keep doing what you’ve been doing.

Have a blessed day,

Debra
