Secret:1 SIMPLIFYING
This works magically when you have a big problem in front of you. The problem with us is we make the big problem more complicated because we look to solve it quickly by just a single solution. But this may not be the best way to solve it. Some problems take their own time to get solved, that's their nature & we have to accept it how they are. Rather than trying to find a solution which will completely remove the problem, break the problem into small parts and find solutions to those small parts. This way will be much easier to do because now you have simplified that big problem into small parts. It’s always easier to solve simple things first. You need to have patience when you use this way because here the problem is big and might be serious.
Example: Imagine right now you are earning ₹10k per month from a business, but you want to earn 1 lakh per month. Rather than directly finding a big solution, it’s better to ask yourself what do you need to do on a daily basis to get to 1 lakh (Answer: Getting more customers for your business)
SECRET 2 : DISTRACTING
This way of solving a problem is really awesome. A problem which you have been having for a long time, still not able to find solution, or you have some solutions, but you do not know which is exactly best for you. So this way is really simple, and I can assure you that you are going to enjoy this one. When you are confused about a certain problem, and can’t decide its solution, follow these things. First fill your mind everything about the problem even the smallest things like facts, numbers, possibilities, challenges, considerations. Then stop thinking about that problem, and start doing activities that make you feel relaxed like bathing, playing your favorite sports, exercise, meditation, movies, walking, sleeping etc. When you do this, what actually happens is our subconscious mind now starts to do the thinking while your conscious mind is relaxed, and suddenly you will realize that you get more creative, and now you will generate new ideas in your head. It’s possible because after doing this you get into a peak state (state where your senses work the best). And now you have the solution.
Example: There are so many digital businesses as an option for me, but which should I choose, and which is the best for me. Then I went to sleep, woke up, and played cricket and suddenly found the best one for me. Yay!!!
SECRET 3: GENERALIZING
It’s been a long time, and you are not able to find any solution of a particular problem, this way is really awesome to try. So it’s really simple what you have to do is just try solving the generalized version of that problem, that means every problem that you face is a part of a bigger hierarchy or bigger system. Sometimes when we direct our focus directly at the targeted problem, we miss out on the bigger details of the whole system. So by finding a general solution to the targeted problem, we may sometimes end up solving the targeted problem as well. This might work or might not work sometimes, so just try it when you have a targeted problem, and you are not able to solve that from long.
Example: Sometimes you might have pain in only a particular part of the body (like arms), and the fastest solution is a painkiller, but sometimes it doesn’t work, so a generalized solution can be a healthy diet which includes a lot of protein. Why because many times the issues are caused by bad digestion according to Ayurveda.
SECRET 4: EXPERIMENTING
This way is really helpful when you have many solutions to a problem, but you aren’t sure about the solution, and you want a better solution. Sometimes you may get into the situation where you might not have the right clarity, about something that whether it is going to work or not or is this the only and, the best solution to a problem I have got. So when you get into this confusion state you also get closer to clarity, that’s how it is. And this way in particular is very good if you also want to learn from your past regarding solving that problem. Because this way will give you an idea about what not to do next. Successful people use this way very often because they get to learn from their mistakes, and they can teach people not to do the same. So it’s simple just write down all the solutions that come in your mind and give them rankings, and now start implementing each solution one by one, and find out which one gives the best result for you. Eventually you will get the best one amongst all.
Example: I created 3 similar products for an audience, but I don’t know which one will work so why not let’s try each one of those and see which gets the best result plus by the customer feedback I can improve them also.
SECRET 5: SIDESTEPPING
Sometimes in life, you may be around different types of problems at once. Like you might be struggling to do business plus you might have loans plus you might be having a fight with your spouse plus you might be having health issues etc. This happened to everyone right at some point or the other in their life. Now because you have so much going on in your head sometimes your focus goes to the smaller problem and because of that you still end up being in those problems even after so many days. Here comes this way to solve your problem. On a paper write-down all the problems that you are facing right now and observe where you are focusing the most and now think whether you really want to spend more time on solving that particular problem and can you avoid that problem and go for a totally different problem for which you also care about a lot. This actually shifts your focus to a new problem, and you might be able to solve that first, and then over a period of time you will get to the solution of the previous one as well.
Example: I am not able to sell my product effectively for a long time. I know there is something wrong with my selling skills, but I also know that I lack a bit in marketing also. So why not focus on finding solutions in marketing rather than selling. Because this can also help me sell more of my product.
