How to solve problems in life?

As humans, we all face problems not at one point or some point but every point in life. With hindsight, you will remember having problems from the point you remember yourself.

 

The thing with problems,is that they cannot be gauged. The intensity of stress caused to a kid who has lost his new shoes is the same when compared to an adult who has lost his brand new cellphone. Obviously, the external factors do matter. But what I am trying to convey, is that everyone's problems are too big for them individually. They are overwhelming, unsolvable, impossible, and every possible synonym of negative.

 

Life is a balanced palette of shades—a perfect blend of good times and adversities. At times one might feel overwhelmed with continuous portions of troubles being served on a plate. Which makes you holler in your mind, a loud but silent mental cry " why me?". Believe me, it happens with most of us. The person who just passed by you. That happy face you saw talking on the phone and many more. Some of us are well equipped or "smart enough" to deal with difficulties better than others. At the same time, others are good at hiding. But you need to trust yourself that you can deal every problem that comes your way. Let's talk about realistic ways to deal with problems.

 

  • Stop predicting: Hold your imaginary horses from going berserk in all directions. You might feel an urge to predict the consequences or imagine the outcomes of answers to the ongoing devastation. From what I think, it's only natural for our brain to do so to not overcome with surprise. But if you reflect on the problems from your past and also the predictions your Sadhguru mind-made. You will realize that most of it went in vain. Most of the time, the answer is completely the opposite, that your mind loves to add a lot drama. Even if the predictions are to come true, remember the quote, "even if life gives you cactus, you don't have to sit on it." Give yourself a break. Try staying ignorant. Convince yourself that whatever comes your way, you shall deal with it.

  • I  cannot ask you to stay saint calm...but hey, blink a few times, widen your eyes, and look around yourself. Look at everything around you. You would automatically feel life moving, time passing. Don't stay stuck wherever you are...move. I'd say better, walk. Don't dwell or ponder. Stick to reality.

  • Now comes the crucial part of how do you deal with the problem. Do everything you can. Take responsibility. Think about the pattern that caused it. But do all this without pointing a finger upon yourself. Diving deep into self discouragement is not going to help you find solutions.,The self-analysis will. Because once you try everything in your reach is when you'd feel satiated.

You'll heal with time; give yourself time. 5 years later You'd laugh at the situation you crying today. Tell yourself you'd give all the time needed to get over with it. You won't be this anxious, worried, crying, restless when you imagine yourself some time ahead in the future. Hope your all your problems resolve within no time. Best of luck!
