Life is full of problems and challenges for us to work our way
through. It is working through these challenges that provides us
with the means to develop our full potential as human beings.
Here are a few tips to help you chew your way through to success.
The first step to chewing up challenges is to recognize what
actually is a challenge or problem and what isn't. I have
noticed that people who don't stretch themselves enough to find
real challenges start to see every day life as a challenge. The
lack of challenge in their life actually breeds a sense of drama.
If you view ordinary everyday life as one huge challenge then
you will overload your system with stress. The amount of stress
that you have is not proportional to the real circumstance that
you are in it is proportional to your reaction to the
circumstances that you are in. That is why one person is
constantly stressed yet another in the same situation is calm
and relaxed.
If you are seeing everything as a challenge then you need to
regain perspective by stretching your comfort zone and setting
larger, more inspiring goals and on your way to achieving them
you will encounter some real challenges that will help you put
every day situations back into perspective.
If you are stretching yourself and encountering some true
challenges then the next step is to ask yourself whether you
actually have to go through this challenge or whether there is
an easier way to go around it.
When faced with a big challenge it can be so emotionally
distracting that we are fully focused on the problem and we
forget to brainstorm ways of avoiding the problem altogether.
For example, a person who has the challenge that they cannot
impress their boss enough to get a pay rise, or even some
recognition of a job well done, may spend a lot of time and
energy coming up with ways to win the recognition they deserve
when what they could be doing is viewing it as a shortfall in
the boss's character and changing jobs for one in a more
rewarding environment.
If after doing steps 1 and 2 you conclude that you do have a
true challenge that you have to meet then step 3 is to clearly
define what that challenge is and then break it down into bite
sized chunks.
Most big challenges can be broken into a series of small
challenges that can be solved or delegated. If however you
cannot break the challenge into bite sized chunks then it is
time to move to steps 4 and 5; bringing in the two big guns of
problem solving; your subconscious mind and expert help.
You subconscious mind has an amazing ability for seeing its way
through challenges, but you have to ask it for help in the right
way. Write down a clear description of the challenge. Then write
down a clear description of your objective. Now read them aloud
and ask you subconscious mind to provide you with the answers
you need.
The best times to ask your subconscious mind for help is just
before you fall asleep, just before a relaxation exercise, just
before you play sport or a game that will require your conscious
focus or just before a meditation session. Each of these
activities takes your conscious mind away from the problem and
stops it from interfering with the subconscious process of
actually solving the challenge for you.
The fifth option that I mentioned was getting expert help. Part
of being great at chewing up challenges is knowing who to ask
for expert help and advice. Nobody achieves greatness alone. So
if you can't see your way through a challenge then it may be
time to park your ego to one side and seek out a more qualified
or more experience person to give you help.
If you want to be able to chew up whatever challenges comes your
way and come through them spitting out success then reread the
five simple steps outlined above and give them a go.
