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!
