Whatever worries you - the choice of a new gadget, a relationship with a partner, or the excessive demands of a new boss - you have four ways to get rid of this feeling:

  • change yourself and your behavior;
  • change the situation;
  • get out of the situation;
  • change your attitude to the situation.

Undoubtedly, there is still an option to leave everything as it is, but this is definitely not about solving the problem.

That's it, the list is over. No matter how hard you try, you can't think of anything else. And if you want to reflect on how to proceed, then I propose to do the following steps.

Algorithm of actions

1. Formulate the problem in the first person

The problems “The world has not yet created the gadget that I need”, “He does not care about me” and “The boss is a beast, demands the impossible” are insoluble. But the problems “I cannot find a gadget that meets my criteria”, “I feel unhappy because my partner does not care about me” and “I cannot do what my boss demands of me” are quite workers.

2. Analyze your problem

Proceed from the four solutions presented above:

Perhaps you will realize that you would like to combine several of them, for example, change your attitude to the situation and then change your behavior. Or maybe you will first consider several methods to choose from. This is normal.

4. Choose one, two or even three ways to brainstorm yourself

Take a piece of paper and a pen. For each method, write as many options as possible to solve the problem. At this stage, discard all filters ("indecent", "impossible", "ugly", "embarrassing" and others) and write down everything that comes to mind.

For example:

Change yourself and your behavior
I can't find a gadget that matches my criteria I feel unhappy because my partner doesn't care about me. I cannot do what my boss demands of me
  • Change criteria.
  • Timeout search.
  • Write to developers
  • Ask for concern.
  • Tell me how I would like him to be caring.
  • Give thanks when he cares
  • Learn to do it.
  • Explain why I cannot do this.
  • Ask someone to do it

For inspiration:

  • Imagine a person whom you respect and who could definitely help you. What options for solving the problem would he suggest?
  • Ask friends and acquaintances for help: brainstorming in a company is more fun.

Choose the one that suits you best in the given situation.

6. Answer yourself the following questions

  • What do I need to do to make this decision a reality?
  • What can hinder me and how can I overcome it?
  • Who can help me do this?
  • What will I do in the next three days to start solving my problem?

7. Take action!

Without real action, all this thinking and analysis is a waste of time. You will definitely succeed! And remember:

A hopeless situation is a situation where you don't like the obvious way out.

For a long time, Japan was isolated from the rest of the world due to political and geographic features country, which made it unique. In addition, natural phenomena, namely frequent earthquakes and typhoons, influenced the peculiar attitude of the Japanese towards nature as a living creature.

Worshiping the momentary beauty of nature, the Japanese people strive to live in harmony with it and respect its greatness. Harmony with nature, graceful simplicity, naturalness, restraint, refined taste, today, like many centuries ago, are the main tenets of the philosophy of this people. They have a lot to learn.
