Be a Problem-Solver

What’s the best way to make it through a difficult situation? Solve the problems that arise and get through it. Changes, negative situations, and stressful events often are characterized by new and seemingly foreboding problems. By taking an active approach to solving those problems for yourself (vs waiting on them to solve themselves), you will demonstrate resiliency and adapt quicker, better, and often happier.
 
A great way to be a problem-solver is to view these new events/changes as challenges rather than as threats. Making that little change in perspective sets you up to problem-solve your way through it. You take that positive outlook that this is something I can get through with a little work and determination.

 Then, you start problem-solving. Just like any other time, you prioritize what needs to be done and you start working through the activities. The EAP’s website at www.EAP4YOU.com has helpful information and tips on how to be an effective problem-solver. Solve the problem of not knowing how to be an effective problem-solver by logging on today and learning more. Make it a priority to learn before you next need it!
