I often hear people saying, “Let’s go to mountains, beaches, forests and eventually all of our stress/ problems will go away”.
While the statement is not false, but not absolutely correct.
We tend to overestimate ourselves & our problems. While travelling helps you explore more aspects of life & flush all the problems that are in head, but it is not the solution to the problems.
How I find solutions to my life problems?
1. Sit idle
2. Breathe in, Breathe out (Get calmer)
3. Write down the problem (on a notebook or on your laptop) - Identify Problem
4. Write down all the solutions that comes to the mind (rational & unbiased)
5. Eliminate the solutions which does not solve the problem or which are not feasible
6. I mostly find a solution which works for me
Although, I too get stressed when in problems, I try to stick to the above process while figuring out solutions.
Avoiding Problems ≠ Solution to Problems
