MAKE EACH DAY EASIER

Each week I look forward to my "Idea Engineer" from my coaching mentor Dr. Randin Brons. On a regular basis, it delivers to me a reminder of some practical thinking, and usually is a thought that I need to be reminded of.

While I’m not sure that I "dance" through days, I do know that since embarking on a process of life recovery, I have been able to see solutions on a far more regular basis.

Dance through your day

"Only one thing has to change for us to know happiness in our lives: where we focus our attention." -- Greg Anderson


What do you usually focus on: problems or solutions?
When our mind dwells on a problem, we stay stuck. Woe is me! But when we can shift to ask how we might achieve a solution to our problem, our subconscious mind, thinking and creativity move into gear. New possibilities open up.
Get in the habit of asking for solutions!

"Every choice moves us closer to or farther away from something. Where are your choices taking your life? What do your behaviors demonstrate that you are saying yes or no to in life?" -- Eric Allenbaugh

Today I can easily accept that there are problems I face in life. Looking for solutions, for me, has been a learned skill. There was a time I could stay stuck on a problem and at times, see no way out. Today I have the skills to acknowledge a problem and seek solutions, and funny enough, by taking action, solutions are found!

This learned skill certainly allows me to face each day in a far more positive way.

HI Keith , I totaly agree , heres a thought , when in active addiction I found I could be very creative and I usually managed to find a solution to problems regarding the supply and consumption of my chosen substance , but not as creative elsewhere . I have been clean for many years now and I think i am certainly more creative in solving problems and seeing those problems before they arise .
