Problem Solved (5 Steps To Handle Your Problem)

First off let me welcome everyone back && for those just entering my world...WELCOME! I took a lil' time off to work on my book coming in 2011 (Yay) and needed to work on it before I got behind...but I'm back and it's time to give you guys some fresh advice and more...READY? Okay, let's get into it:


So, we all have problems. With either ourselves or with other people. Sometimes we can't figure out how to handle it so it gets the best of us and gets us mad. Before I give you my 5 steps in attempting to handle the problem do know this:

YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR OWN EMOTIONS AND THE ONLY PERSON THAT CAN RUIN YOU...IS YOU!!!

Now that I let you know that, it's time to get into the steps....shall we? :)


STEP 1: ADDRESS THE PROBLEM

Well of course this would be first...before you attempt to fix the problem, you gotta fully understand WHAT THE PROBLEM IS? Some may have a major problem....others may have a problem that probably don't need to be entertained at all but needs to be anyway for their sake. This Step is not hard (Unless you have one of those 'Unknowns' -- which I'll explain in my book) so let's move on now that you have your problem.


STEP 2: PLAY THE PROBLEM

Now-a-days, there is almost EVERY song for EVERY mood. Even though it sounds corny, some people find therapy and healing through a good ole song that they can relate to. Now, if you're going through a relationship problem, then it's probably not a good idea to listen to "Bust Your Windows" or if you're sad I would stay away from songs like "I Feel Like Dying". Even though you probably won't believe it, music is VERY influential and can sometimes make people imitate what is being said in the lyrics. Me, personally, find that a good song to help me convert my negative energy helps me get over my problem. There is NO limit on how how many times you play it. MAKE IT YOUR SONG! Pretty soon you'll find yourself starting to feel better...and you're ready for the next step.


STEP 3: CLEANSE THE PROBLEM

Once you have addressed the problem and played its counterpart, it's time to shower up! Okay, now some people may be wondering "Why is taking a shower a part of the steps?". Here is why, for the deep-minded you can see that the shower can be mentally relaxing and can wash deeper than the dirt on your skin. If you open your mind, you'll see that you're not only physically cleansing your problems, but also mentally. Clearing your mind while having the issue can allow you to successfully handle your situation, no matter what it is. So, the next time you gotta let the water slide down and and your problems go with then.



STEP 4: CLOSE THE PROBLEM:

Closure means to finally let go or to end a problem, something, or someone. When everything gets resolved...admit that it happened and then let it go. You're NEVER really over something until you be honest about it and say "Yes it happened". Now don't come to this step if you're still upset or angry about the problem. To have closure is also to have peace with the situation. If you don't have peace with the problem, then that means you can't have closure because your anger will bring you back to the issue. So if you hit this step and you're still upset...try going back to step 2.



STEP 5: REMEMBER THE PROBLEM

One simple quote: "FORGIVE BUT NEVER FORGET"

Every experience is a learning one that you should only learn ONCE. Every obstacle was not designed to be easy. We struggle so that we can prevail. When we prevail, we experience. And when we experience, we gain! Let go and start to move on! :)
