How To Solve a Problem?
Do you relish solving a problem or does it frighten you? Some of us may find this quite challenging. When we are faced with a problem, our minds can sometimes go into panic, depending on the size of the problem. In this initial stage of being presented with a problem, one would really benefit from acknowledging how you feel about the problem and accepting that there is a choice you may have to make. You can CHOOSE to do nothing, work out ways to resolve the problem, or you can take action and put things in place to understand the problem and ultimately create change if this is what you want. Some of you may have heard of Pros and Cons method or the SWOT method (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats). Whichever you choose, it comes down to seeking out a solution that works for you and helps you to either change your situation or make a current situation better. Okay so, you think you have a problem – Have you identified the actual problem?
So, the next time you are faced with a problem, remember to calm yourself after any initial panic, acknowledge what is going on, note who is involved, what you are able to do initially that may help and then start with the steps you can manage. And ask yourself if you have had to deal with a similar problem before. If so, how did you come to a solution that worked for you and what strengths did you use to solve it?
