Solve problems using the six thinking hats

Solve Problems Using the Six Thinking Hats

Do you have a difficult problem that needs to get solved, but just don’t quite know where to begin? Well, how about using the six thinking hats? This problem solving model was first introduced by Edward de Bono in 1985. It uses the idea of six problem solving mindsets that we can utilize to help us work through our problems more effectively. These mindsets are tied to what de Bono describes as the Six Thinking Hats. Each hat plays a different role and brings to the table various perspectives that can help bring about a solution to the problem at hand. Here is a breakdown of the roles, objectives and purpose behind each of the six thinking hats.


1) THE MANAGERIAL BLUE HAT

The role of the Managerial Blue Hat is to act as a director. It essentially manages all the other hats and ensures that an adequate solution to the problem is found. Its other primary responsibilities involve defining the problem, gathering insights and information, encouraging the flow of ideas, managing time sensitive issues, and moving from an idea to the implementation of that idea in the most effective and efficient way possible. The Blue Hat’s main objectives are therefore to organize ideas, plans and future actions, based on the input it gathers from the other thinking hats.

2) THE NEUTRAL WHITE HAT

How to Use the Six Thinking Hats Technique

The role of the Neutral White Hat is to act as a detective. Its main objective is to explore the facts of the problem in an unbiased and neutral way. This essentially means collecting relevant information, stats and data surrounding the problem. This hat isn’t interested in beliefs, assumptions or opinions. It’s only interested in solid concrete information that can be proven and measured. However, in order to perform this role it must stay objective. It cannot allow itself to get emotionally involved because that would simply corrupt the data. Like a detective, it stays neutral and very open to the possibilities that may exist.

3) THE INTUITIVE RED HAT

Edward de Bono - Six Thinking Hats

The role of the Intuitive Red Hat is to act as the heart. Its main objective is to seek intuitive answers to the problem at hand. It does this by tuning into its internal feelings that can often lead to insights and hunches. Its purpose is to unlock ideas that come from the intuitive heart, rather than from the intellectual head. It therefore preferences using its instincts to formulate ideas that can help move the problem forward. Feelings of course don’t always need to make intellectual sense. The Red Hat therefore never feels compelled to justify its feelings or to rationalize the contribution it makes toward solving the problem.

4) THE PESSIMISTIC BLACK HAT

5) THE OPTIMISTIC YELLOW HAT

The Six Thinking Hats

The role of the Optimistic Yellow Hat is to act as a sun, or a beacon of light that symbolizes faith and hope. It’s main objective is to take every idea on board and build a case as to why it will succeed, and how it can potentially be implemented. It therefore always looks for the opportunities that may arise from the implementation of an idea. The Yellow Hat of course takes into account the risks, while also assessing the feasibility of getting an idea off the ground. It always however favors possibilities. If there is a will, then the Yellow Hat will always find a way to make things work, irrelevant of the drawbacks that may come to light.

6) THE CREATIVE GREEN HAT

6 Thinking Hats

The role of the Creative Green Hat is to act as a seedling. Its main objective is to explore new perspectives and creative ideas that can lead to interesting insights and breakthroughs in thinking. The Green Hat consistently challenges itself to expand possibilities by searching for unique and different ways of doing things. This of course means that they don’t follow traditional rules of thinking, or adhere to standard practices of how things should be done. There are in fact no rules where they’re concerned. The Green Hat will therefore bring many crazy and wacky ideas to the table. Most ideas probably won’t be viable, but some certainly will.


CONCLUDING THOUGHTS

Using the six thinking hats to solve your life problems can provide you with the insights you need to take an idea from conception to implementation.

The six thinking hats are most often used within team environments for group brainstorming purposes, however they can also be used by individuals who are trying to work through a problem.

Working through the six thinking hats would simply involve mentally switching between each of the hats as you explore your problem. This will of course take practice. Each hat brings with it a very different approach to problem solving. Clearly understanding the role and objectives of each of the six thinking hats in advance, can help you to utilize them in more optimal ways as you work through your problem.

How to deal with difficult emotions

How to Deal with Difficult Emotions

Do you struggle with your emotions at times? Difficult emotions such as fear, frustration, overwhelm, disappointment, hurt and anger can certainly present some challenges. They can very quickly escalate and pull us out of a good emotional place and into a very reactive and unresourceful state-of-mind. When we allow these emotions to drive and control our behavior, we tend to process the world very differently. They filter our view of reality, which subsequently prevents us from seeing things in their true form. Things however don’t need to be this way. They can in fact be very different, and it all begins with getting a little perspective.


1) FEAR

Dealing With Difficult Emotions

The purpose of fear is to keep you safe. It’s designed to preserve life and keep you away from potential harm. Fear is of course quite a valuable emotion when facing a mad grizzly bear, however not so helpful if it’s preventing you from achieving your goals. It’s important to remember though that fear is all in the imagination. We fear things because we imagine them to be a certain way, when in fact the situation is probably very different. With this in mind, challenge how you imagine your predicament. Next, reaffirm your goal and prepare yourself thoroughly. The more familiar something is, the less there is to fear.

2) FRUSTRATION

Strategies for Dealing with Difficult Emotions

The purpose of frustration is to alert you to the fact that something is not working. The thing you are doing is not turning out as you had expected. This therefore creates resistance, and that is exactly what’s triggering your feelings of frustration. What you’re doing is not working because you have obviously missed something. Just maybe you’re doing it all wrong. In such instances, it’s helpful to get a little curious. Start thinking outside the box and begin questioning your methods. There could in fact be a better way to get this job done. Potentially you are just not asking the right questions. Change your approach and see what happens.

3) OVERWHELM

Dealing With Difficult Emotions

The purpose of overwhelm is to alert you to the fact that you have your priorities all messed up. You can’t possibly do everything all at once, so why even bother trying? Use this as an opportunity to stop what you’re doing, and begin prioritizing what needs to get done. First, figure out what it is that you are able to control. These will be the things that are within your sphere of influence. Prioritize these tasks and activities, then dump, delegate or reschedule anything you deem to be unnecessary. Now break each of these items down into small pieces and begin working through your list one tiny chunk at a time.

4) DISAPPOINTMENT

Dealing With Difficult Emotions

The purpose of disappointment is to help guide you in a better and more optimal direction. Something just happened that didn’t quite work out as you had expected. Possibly your expectations were unrealistic. In that case you may need to reassess the situation. It might even help to set more realistic and attainable goals. However, the greatest value from a disappointment is always found within the learning experience. What you learn about yourself and about your predicament is far more valuable than anything you can do in the moment. Learn all you can from your experience and use it as an opportunity to move yourself forward in a better way.

5) HURT

How to Deal with Difficult Emotions in Optimal Ways

The purpose of hurt is to alert you to the fact that your needs are not being met in a particular situation. You are for instance feeling hurt because you had certain expectations about how things should’ve been. Things however ended up being very different, and what you expected someone would do, didn’t quite happen. As a result you now feel powerless and emotionally demoralized. Take time to reevaluate your expectations. Possibly you are making a bigger deal out of this than you should be. Next, begin communicating your needs more clearly. Just maybe you’re feeling hurt because of a simple miscommunication.

6) ANGER

How to deal with difficult emotions

The purpose of anger is to alert you to the fact that one or more of your rules or values has been violated. You are angry because you no longer feel in control of the situation, and this creates uncertainty. It’s therefore time to reassess your violated rules. Just maybe they aren’t reasonable or shouldn’t even apply in this instance. It’s also possible that you completely misread the other person’s intentions or the circumstances of the situation. Just maybe things aren’t as you make them out to be. Possibly things are actually very different, but your assumptions are preventing you from seeing the truth in the situation.

CONCLUDING THOUGHTS

It’s certainly not easy to deal with these difficult emotions. In fact, in the heat of the moment, as each of these emotions arise, it can be extremely hard to control our habitual instincts and impulses. However, by allowing these difficult emotions to control us, we choose to spiral down a deep dark path that’s unlikely to end well for us, or for the people caught in our wrath.

There is however hope. Your emotional reactions are nothing more but habits that you have developed over a lifetime. They are instincts you have conditioned into your psyche that help you deal with difficult life experiences. The good news is that you can recondition these instincts by building new habitual patterns of behavior over time.

Simply carry this IQ Doodle with you and refer to the cards whenever you experience any of these difficult emotions, then follow the enclosed instructions. Eventually you will break your old patterns of behavior and build new habitual patterns in their place. Your difficult emotions will become resourceful experiences that you can use to make the very best of every situation.

Developing the Six Morning Rituals for Success

Developing the Six Morning Rituals for Success

Do you have a morning ritual? I imagine you probably have some kind of ritual that gets your day started. But what specifically does this ritual entail? Is it energizing, motivating and empowering? Or do you simply dread waking up in the morning? Did you know that getting your day started in the right way can put you into an optimal state-of-mind for goal achievement? In fact, high achievers the world over partake in carefully scripted morning rituals that are designed to help improve their mental focus, productivity and performance. With this in mind, here are six morning rituals for success that high achievers typically partake in.


1) MEDITATION

morning rituals for success

The first morning ritual for success comes in the form of meditation. Meditation involves sitting comfortably in complete silence for up to 30 minutes. While meditating people quietly observe their thoughts or concentrate on the movement of their breath. This allows them to be still and mindful of the moment. Meditation can however also be used as a time for prayer, for self-reflection and for gratitude. Incorporating meditation into your morning routine can help relieve stress, promote better sleep, enhance mindful self-awareness, and improve concentration and focus throughout the day.

2) LEARNING

6 Morning Rituals

The second morning ritual for success comes in the form of learning. High achievers understand that in order to keep their edge, they must consistently feed their mind with new ideas and information. However, it’s not enough just to read a book for 20 minutes each day. Reading without a purpose brings very little value. What you read must be immediately actionable and applicable to your life, goals and circumstances. In other words, this information must help you gather valuable insights and perspectives that allow you to develop the skills needed to advance your career and achieve your objectives.

3) EXERCISE

Developing the Six Morning Rituals for Success

The third morning ritual for success comes in the form of exercise. Partaking in regular exercise is of course something that can help improve your energy, promote emotional well-being, and enhance concentration and mental alertness. However, as great as that sounds, exercising first thing in the morning is excruciatingly difficult for many people. But exercise doesn’t necessarily need to feel like a burden. It could simply involve some basic stretching, yoga, weight training or a short cardio workout. 5 to 10 minutes is all it takes to get your day started on the right track.

4) JOURNALING

6 Morning Rituals Successful People

The fourth morning ritual for success comes in the form of journaling. Journaling could for instance involve writing down your thoughts or self-reflections, which of course can help you make better sense of your life and circumstances. Journaling can also be used as a tool for capturing ideas to help improve your career and relationships. Some people even like to use journaling for goal setting purposes or for planning out their future. Given all this, journaling will help to reinforce what’s most important in your life, while keeping you focused on your highest priority activities throughout the day.

5) VISUALIZATION

6 Morning Rituals to Empower Your Day

The fifth morning ritual for success comes in the form of visualization. This involves the process of visualizing something in your imagination that you would like to accomplish. For instance you could visualize a goal that you would like to achieve. However, don’t just visualize your destination. Actually spend time visualizing how you went about accomplishing that goal, including all the obstacles and setbacks you overcame along the way. Visualize also the habits you developed, how you handled difficult emotions, and how you responded to adversity. Doing this will subsequently help improve the choices and decisions you make throughout the day.

6) AFFIRMATIONS

6 Daily Rituals of Highly Successful People

The sixth morning ritual for success comes in the form of affirmations. Affirmations typically involve repeating words and phrases that send very specific instructions to your body and brain. These instructions come in the form of commands that help direct your thoughts and decisions. Your affirmations must therefore be tied to very specific actions that you will take throughout the day. These actions must build upon empowering beliefs, habits, and attitudes that move you closer toward the accomplishment of your goals. Repeating your affirmations in the morning and then throughout the day will help you to stay focused on your most important actions.


CONCLUDING THOUGHTS

These six morning rituals for success will lay down the foundations for an empowering morning routine that will keep you focused and inspired throughout the day. You of course don’t need to incorporate all of them into your morning schedule. Pick and choose what works best in your situation, and start there. Getting started is the most important part.

This is of course great, but how long should this morning routine be? Well that’s also up to you. Anything from 20 to 90 minutes works well for most people. Again start somewhere and then make adjustments as you begin feeling more comfortable with the routine you have chosen.

Over the long-term, consistency will of course be the key. Every single time you undertake your morning routine you will make subtle mental shifts in how you think about your life and circumstances. These shifts will in fact probably go unnoticed. However, over time these shifts will eventually lead you toward making a different set of choices that will guide you down a vastly different path — toward a life that you may never have imagined was possible.


Six empowering morning rituals

How to climb the career ladder

How to Climb the Career Ladder

Do you have aspirations to climb the career ladder? This would of course be wonderful. New responsibilities, a higher position within your organization, and better pay could effectively set you up for life. But is this really possible? Is it possible for anyone to climb the career ladder, even for those starting at the very bottom? Well let’s just say that it’s not impossible. It is however improbable that many people will accomplish this feat. These people will never get there because they simply don’t have what it takes to be a high achiever. However, you are probably very different to most, right? In that case, here are six things you must do.


1) GO THE EXTRA MILE

6 Amazing Tips for Climbing the Career Ladder

The current position you hold within your organization comes with certain responsibilities and obligations that define your job description. Your job description therefore comes with certain expectations. Fulfilling those expectations gives you a reputation for being a competent and reliable employee. Being competent is of course commendable, but unfortunately it won’t get you very far. If you truly desire to climb the career ladder, then you must carefully think through how to surpass those expectations. This is precisely what going the extra mile is all about. It means doing far more than what is stipulated within your job description.

2) DO THINGS BETTER

the career ladder

If you truly desire to climb the career ladder, then going the extra mile will not be enough. Yes, it will get you noticed, but it won’t really make you stand out. Anyone can go the extra mile. It just takes some effort. To truly stand out you need more than effort — you need smarts. This essentially means figuring out how to do things better, more productively, and far more efficiently. It means improving systems and processes that boost your organization’s bottom line. It means consistently challenging yourself to find better ways to get things done that improve how you work and how the organization operates.

3) COMMIT TO LIFELONG LEARNING

6 Secrets To Climbing The Career Ladder

In order to do things better, you need to become a smarter and more savvy thinker. This of course requires committing yourself to lifelong learning, which essentially means taking the time to learn everything you can about your job and industry. The more you know and the higher level of proficiency and skill you develop, the more valuable you become to your organization. And of course the more your organization values you, the more likely you are to be promoted. However, you can’t possibly know or learn about everything. You must therefore be very selective where and how you spend your time.

4) TAKE ON MORE RESPONSIBILITY

The New Way to Climb the Career Ladder

Acquiring new knowledge and learning valuable skills is of course wonderful. However, unless you are given the opportunity to showcase those skills, then you’ll unfortunately never get noticed. This is where it is helpful to ask for more responsibility that goes beyond your standard job description. Keep an ear out for new projects and developments within your organization, and be one of the first to volunteer your time, energy and efforts. The more opportunity you get to showcase the knowledge you have acquired and the skills you have developed, the easier it will be to make inroads to climb the career ladder.

5) BROADEN YOUR EXPERIENCES

How To Fast-Track Your Way Up The Corporate Ladder

If at anytime you’re struggling to make progress with your career aspirations, it can be helpful to ask to work in a different area of your organization. This can be of tremendous value as it exposes you to new people, systems, methodologies and processes. Furthermore, it allows you to learn valuable new skills and acquire relevant knowledge that can help you better understand the workings and operations of your organization — at a far deeper and more comprehensive level. This will allow you to gather valuable insights that can help you formulate new ideas to improve your company’s bottom line.

6) BUILD A REMARKABLE REPUTATION

To climb the career ladder,

In the end, the goal with all this is to build a remarkable reputation — to become the person that everyone within your organization respects and admires. There are of course certain qualities that top managers value above all else. These qualities include passion, creativity, dependability, trustworthiness, enthusiasm, and being a team player. In the end, people climb the career ladder in one of two ways. The first is based on who they know. This is if course all about making the right connections. And the second is built solely upon their reputation, which of course depends entirely upon who knows them.


CONCLUDING THOUGHTS

To climb the career ladder certainly won’t be easy. In fact, it will take a huge amount of effort on your part. And many times those efforts won’t even be acknowledged, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they won’t eventually be recognized. You just need to keep chipping away and building your reputation within your organization. Over time your reputation will grow and sooner or later you will get noticed. And that is when you will get your opportunity to climb up one, two or more rungs on the career ladder.


Six Ideas for Climbing the Career Ladder

 

Imagine for a moment you could develop new habits and methods of thinking where you naturally and effortlessly adopt these ideas into your life. How would that make you feel? Would you feel more fulfilled, empowered and in control?

Find more happiness in life

How to Find More Happiness in Life

Are you happy? I mean, are you truly happy? Do you have the happiness and fulfilment you have always desired? Or are there still missing pieces? I imagine you’re currently working toward achieving some important life goals. Obtaining these goals will no doubt make you very happy. These goals will bring you the happiness and fulfilment you have always wanted. Or will they? Achieving your goals will probably make you feel absolutely wonderful, but unfortunately your happiness won’t last. It won’t last because nothing external will ever truly make you happy. To find true happiness in life we need to look to the little things that matter most.


1) SMILE MORE OFTEN

6 Simple Ways to Find Happiness

To find more happiness in life you must commit yourself to living life in a more lighthearted and carefree way. Yes, life is full of unwanted problems and horrible experiences. However, most of the time we make a big deal out of the little things, or over exaggerate issues that won’t even matter a year from now. We jump to conclusions, and we worry and fret about how things could be, instead of making the most of each experience. We just take life and ourselves too seriously and this prevents us from enjoying each moment to its fullest. To avoid falling into this trap, take time to laugh, to smile, and to be more playful and lighthearted.

2) INDULGE IN THE GOOD STUFF

How to be Happy

To find more happiness in life we need to start indulging in all the good stuff that helps nourish our body, spirit and our brain. And no, daytime television soup operas unfortunately don’t make the cut. 😉 The good stuff includes eating healthy, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, and spending quality time with those you love. To truly find lasting happiness in life, you need to take special care of yourself. Specifically, you need to look after your health and well-being. You could for instance have all the money and material possessions in the world, but you won’t truly be happy if you don’t have good health and abundant energy.

3) CULTIVATE AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE

How to Find Happiness in Your Life

To find more happiness in life takes gratitude and appreciation. Most people spend their entire lives pursuing the things they don’t have. The pursuit of these things can be difficult, but at the same time it can also be quite rewarding and exciting. It could even be said that happiness is found along the journey and not at the destination. Certainly, pursuing things we don’t yet have brings us joy, even if the road gets a little tough at times. However, true and lasting happiness doesn’t come while chasing stuff, it rather comes when we take the time to appreciate the small things we already have that we typically take for granted.

4) DABBLE IN CREATIVE PURSUITS

6 Tips to Live a Happier Life

To find more happiness in life requires doing things you love that indulge your passions and senses. The happiest people in the world are people who live life on their terms. They are the people who spend a vast majority of their time passionately exploring creative pursuits that challenge them in new ways. These people live with a sense of purpose and continuously work toward accomplishing important life goals. However, they don’t pursue these goals for the sake of achieving them, they rather pursue them to grow and develop themselves in new ways. In other words, they seek not to achieve, but rather to become a better version of themselves.

5) SPEND TIME HELPING PEOPLE

How to Find Happiness in Your Everyday Life

To find more happiness in life requires giving of yourself to help improve how other people live their lives. Of course, indulging in the things that make us happy can feel quite wonderful, however these feelings are often very short-lived. True and lasting happiness only comes to those who consistently focus on spreading happiness outside of themselves. You can of course do this through random acts of kindness that help ease people’s burdens and pains. Making a positive difference in the lives of those around you will naturally make you feel better about yourself, thereby enhancing your own level of happiness.

6) SAY YES TO LIFE

How to Find Happiness in Life

To find more happiness in life requires making the most of every moment. It requires choosing to live life to the fullest. But in order to live life in this way we need embrace all that life has to offer. There are after all just so many incredible experiences we could have, and so many wonderful memories to create. However, most people deny themselves the opportunity to truly live their life because they simply don’t prioritize what matters. They say NO to this and to that, and subsequently deny themselves the opportunity for new adventures and learning experiences that could help them live a happier and more fulfilling life.


CONCLUDING THOUGHTS

Whether we care to admit it or not, happiness is our number one priority in life. Yes, we spend time pursuing all these other things that we think we want, when in the end all we really need is to be happy.

You buy that new car because it makes you happy. You pursue that goal because you think it will make you happy when you eventually achieve it. You purchase a gift for someone because it makes you happy to see them happy. You help someone in need because it makes you happy to be helpful. Everything you do is because of your innate desire to find more happiness in life.

But if we do all these things to make ourselves happy, then why do so many people still feel so miserable? The easy answer to that question is because happiness is elusive. The pursuit of happiness will always elude you because you’re constantly looking for the next thing that you think will make you happy. And all the while happiness is sitting right under your nose waiting for you to acknowledge its existence. 🙂


Six ideas for finding more happiness in life

Learn from mistake

How to Learn from a Mistake

Have you ever made a huge mistake? You know what I mean, right? It’s one of those mistakes that you’ll never forget and always regret. It’s something you wish had never happened that you would just love to do-over again. But what’s done, is done. There is no going back. But just maybe there is some value to be found here. Just maybe, you can use this mistake to help you move forward in a better way. Mistakes are after all a part of life. They are part of making progress through life. As long as we learn from each mistake we make, we can then use that experience as a platform to make better choices. Here are six steps that can help you do just that.


1) IDENTIFY WHAT WENT WRONG

How to Learn From Your Mistakes

Oops, you just made a mistake. What now? Well you can choose to either ignore the mistake, or you can admit what you did and figure out what went wrong. You can also of course admit to it and then make every excuse under the sun why this mistake wasn’t your fault. But what good will that do? Making excuses just shows that you have no control over the situation. And with no control you won’t be able to make things any better. I assume you want to make things better, right? In that case, own up to your mistake and take responsibility for your predicament. Things might not have turned out as you had expected, but there could still yet be some value in this situation.

2) SHIFT YOUR PERSPECTIVE

What can we learn from mistakes

Yes, you made a mistake, but maybe things aren’t as bad as they seem. Just maybe, there is something of value to take away from this experience. However, in order to find that value, you need to first shift how you’re viewing this situation. The best way to do this is to challenge yourself to see your mistake in a more optimal way. For instance, you could ask yourself how making this mistake might be helpful. There could also be an opportunity here to do something, or at the very least to learn something. What could that opportunity be? Think long and hard and don’t stop until you find something of value.
 

3) LEARN SOMETHING

How to Learn From Mistakes

Now that you are in a more receptive and resourceful state-of-mind, it’s time to learn everything you can from this experience. Take a moment to reflect upon the mistake you made. Think through exactly how things unfolded and how you responded. Consider the decisions you made the led up to this mistake. Take into account your state-of-mind and what motivated you to make certain choices that resulted in this outcome. Think long and hard about what else you could have potentially done and how things might have unfolded. Then consider the lessons you can take away from this experience. What value is there in these lessons?

4) OUTLINE YOUR NEXT STEPS

6 Ways To Turn Your Mistake Into A Valuable Life Lesson

Having learned some valuable lessons within the previous step, it’s now time to take those lessons and turn them into practical action. Yes, I realize the mistake has already been made, however that doesn’t mean that you can’t potentially improve the situation or make amends for what happened. You hold the power to do something, and it all begins with figuring out your best course of action moving forward. Specifically outline your next steps. What’s the next action you could take to improve things? Or, what could you do differently the next time around? If you get stuck, then consider what other people might do in your situation.

5) ACQUIRE SKILLS AND RESOURCES

How to learn from mistakes

Having outlined your next steps, you’ve possibly identified some areas for improvement. You might for instance not have the necessary knowledge, skills or resources to take those next steps. If that’s the case, then it’s time to acquire anything that can help you move forward in a better way. Think about what you might need to know or learn. Also consider the skills you may need to develop, the resources to acquire, or the support that might be of value. In order to avoid making the same mistake again, you need to upgrade certain aspects of yourself. With these upgrades in place, you will then be better prepared to give this another shot.

6) FUTURE-PROOF YOUR MISTAKES

Why You Need To Learn From Your Mistakes

As a member of the human species you are given the permission to make mistakes. However, making mistakes isn’t always fun, can be emotionally taxing, and often slows us down. It can therefore be helpful to minimize the mistakes we make. With that in mind, you need to spend time future proofing your goof. In other words, prepare yourself for future mistakes in advance. One way to do this is by improving your ability to solve problems, to think objectively, critically and creatively. Another way to do this is to learn from other people’s mistakes. Read books or speak with people directly. Learn about how they goofed up, then avoid those same blunders.


CONCLUDING THOUGHTS

Yes, we all make mistakes. Mistakes are a part of life. They are a part of making progress, right? In fact, the human species is where it is today because of all the mistakes we have made over the centuries. We didn’t understanding something, and so we tried new things, goofed things up, then learned from our experience and made adjustments moving forward. We made mistakes time and again, but because we took the time to learn from them, we eventually made breakthroughs, which of course turned into progress.

You, as an individual can do the same in your own life. However, in order to make real progress, it’s important to remember that you are not your mistakes. Mistakes are not a part of you. You make mistakes, and therefore you can also unmake them. As long as you learn from every experience and are willing to adapt and change your course of action, then you too will consistently make progress.


Six steps to learn from a mistake

How to Deal with Failure and Disappointment

How to Deal with Failure and Disappointment

Have you ever tried really hard to achieve a goal, but ended up failing miserably? It initially seemed as though you had all the answers and knew exactly what to do. At one point, things were actually going quite smoothly, but then suddenly, like a lightning bolt, everything just crashed to the ground. You are now filled with regret about what could or should have been. You of course didn’t deserve that failure, but it’s unfortunately not something that you can now change. But maybe you don’t need to change things. Just maybe failure can actually be quite helpful. Just maybe there is a more optimal way do deal with failure. Here are six steps that can help.


1) STAY COOL, CALM AND COLLECTED

How do you handle failure

When things don’t quite work out as expected and you suddenly find yourself facing failure, that is the moment you must keep your emotions in-check. What happened, has happened, and there’s nothing you can change. What you can however do is stay cool, calm and collected. Don’t make any assumptions or jump to silly conclusions. Don’t you even dare blame yourself for all this. You gave your very best, right? If that’s the case, then you have nothing to be ashamed about. What matters most right now is not what just happened, but rather how you respond to this predicament. That will make all the difference in the end.

2) TAKE OWNERSHIP FOR YOUR FAILURE

How do you stay positive after failure

In order to deal with failure in an optimal way requires proper perspective. However, before we even get to a point where we start seeing our failure as a helpful experience, it’s vital that we first take full ownership of that experience. This effectively means to stop complaining, to stop making excuses, and to stop blaming anything or anyone outside of ourselves. Instead, openly acknowledge what just happened and take full responsibility for your predicament. Taking responsibility is of course not about taking the blame. It rather means taking ownership and empowering yourself to take control of how you respond to this situation.

3) ACCEPT THAT FAILURE IS PART OF LIFE

How to Deal with Failure

Let’s stop for a moment and take the time to consider how failure is simply a natural part of life. In fact, failure is life. Throughout human history, we as a species have failed time and again. We tried new and unfamiliar things, we attempted improbable feats, we pushed the boundaries of our comfort zones, and we failed miserably. But failure of course doesn’t mean the end of the road. In fact, failure can actually bring with it opportunities for reinvention, for new beginnings, and for refining our approach. It can bring with it new perspectives and understandings that can help us move forward in a better way.

4) FIND REASONS TO KEEP GOING

6 Healthy Ways to Cope With Failure

To successfully deal with failure requires mental toughness and resilience. Failure is of course an emotionally taxing and brutal experience that completely derails all our efforts and best intentions. You’ve put in all this work for an extended period of time, and then to have it all suddenly crash to the ground just seems unfair. But then again, life isn’t fair. It doesn’t play favorites and certainly doesn’t always reward you for your efforts. But losing one battle doesn’t mean that you have lost the war. This is where you need to dig deep and find the strength within yourself to keep moving forward. Possibly there is a glimmer of hope yet to be found.
 

5) LEARN FROM YOUR EXPERIENCE

deal with failure

Now that you are in a more resourceful state-of-mind, it’s time to learn from your failure. These lessons can of course help you to gather valuable insights and perspectives about your experience. Maybe things are not as bad as they seem. Potentially you can use this experience as a stepping stone toward something even better. However, before you make that a possibility, take a moment to consider why exactly you failed. Was it bad timing? Was it because of unrealistic expectations? Was it a lack of knowledge or experience? Or maybe you just didn’t have enough time, resources or support? Figuring out why you failed will help you outline your next steps.
 

6) OUTLINE A NEW PLAN OF ACTION

Dealing with Failure

Having taken a moment to learn from your experience, it’s now time to take those lessons on board and build a plan of action for moving forward. This of course might mean using this failure as an opportunity to refine your approach, to start over again with a new objective, or to use this experience as a platform for personal growth and reinvention. No matter which of these three paths you choose, it’s quite clear that your journey doesn’t end here. In fact, it’s only just beginning. What you do from here-on-in is completely in your hands. You can either quit, or you can choose to instead make the most of what initially seemed like a miserable situation.


CONCLUDING THOUGHTS

When we succeed we celebrate, when we fail we contemplate. We therefore gain a whole lot more value from a failure than we do from our victories. But this of course doesn’t make failure any easier to deal with.

To deal with failure successfully takes introspection, perspective, courage and faith. It takes introspection to make peace with failure. It takes proper perspective to see the value in your predicament. It then takes courage to try and make the best of your situation, and of course faith to know that it will all work out in the end. When all four factors are in play, that is when you will know that you have what it takes to successfully deal with failure.


Six Steps for Dealing with Failure

 

Imagine for a moment you could develop new habits and methods of thinking where you naturally and effortlessly adopt these ideas into your life. How would that make you feel? Would you feel more fulfilled, empowered and in control?

Yes, there is such simplicity within this IQ Doodle, but of course there is a reason for that. Making positive change doesn’t need to be a complicated process.

How to Overcome Adversity

How to Overcome Adversity

Have you ever wanted something so badly, but stuff just kind of kept getting in your way? By stuff, I mean all the problems and setbacks that life throws between you and your goals. Achieving those big goals is never easy. In fact, the bigger the goal, the harder things get, and the more problems we inevitably need to deal with. Life of course throws obstacles along our path to help us learn valuable lessons needed to achieve our goals. But unfortunately most people give up before they fully learn those lessons. If only they knew what it truly takes to overcome adversity. Then just maybe things could be a little different.


1) BECOME AN OBSERVER

Overcome Adversity

When an unexpected problem arises, it’s very easy to lose your emotional grip of the situation. This problem just comes out of the blue and immediately takes over your life. It’s ferocious and overwhelming, and certainly not something you want to deal with. But it’s here, and you must now learn to deal with it. In times like this it’s important to stay calm and collected, and then step back emotionally from the situation. View this problem as an neutral observer from afar in a detached way. See it objectively and rationally. At the same time tune into your thoughts and assess how you’re reading and interpreting this situation.

2) ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT MATTERS

6 Powerful Tips for Overcoming Adversity

What matters most at this time is not what you do about this problem. What matters is actually how you see the problem, how you respond to this problem, and how well you maintain your composure. In other words, you must put yourself into an optimal state-of-mind where you can then deal with this problem most effectively. This of course is heavily reliant on the story you tell yourself about this problem. If you tell yourself a woeful and uninspiring story about what happened, then that will put you into a very unresourceful state-of-mind. But tell yourself an empowering story, and that will give you the strength you need to move forward.

3) TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY

6 Ways to Overcome Adversity

Now that you have put yourself into a more resourceful state-of-mind, it’s time to take ownership of this problem. Yes, we all understand this problem isn’t your fault. In fact, you probably had little to no control over the outcome. But here you are caught in this mess — a mess that you must now deal with. Complaining, blaming and making excuses won’t change your situation, so why even bother? The only rational approach you have is to take full responsibility for what just happened, and then commit yourself to making things better. This problem might very well have hurt you, but don’t you dare allow it to break you!

4) PUT A POSITIVE SPIN ON THINGS

How To Overcome Adversity And Hard Times

To overcome adversity takes work. It takes mental, emotional and physical energy. In fact, it can very quickly become an excruciatingly draining experience. This is especially true if you’re continuously fighting your battles uphill. With no light at the end of the tunnel, it’s just hard to find the motivation to keep going. However, things don’t need to be this way. You certainly don’t need to be this way. This is where you must dig deep and figure out how to put a positive spin on this experience. Things are possibly not as bad as they appear. Yes, the doors are locked, but just maybe there is a window of opportunity waiting around the corner.

5) ASSESS YOUR PROBLEM

Tips for Overcoming Adversity

You probably now feel more motivated than ever to push through your problem, and to finally overcome adversity. But unfortunately desire alone typically isn’t enough. What you need is to think through your next steps rationally. And that of course begins with getting a better understanding of your problem. Take a moment to assess your problem. Question what went wrong, why things went wrong, who played a part in this problem, and look for clues that can help you move forward. The more you know about the nature of your problem, the easier the next step of this process will be.

6) TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION

Tips for Overcoming Adversity

Having taken the time to assess your problem, you’re now ready to move forward toward solving it. However, to overcome adversity requires an understanding of not only the problem but also of where your strengths and weaknesses lie. It requires understanding how to utilize those strengths and the resources you have at your disposal to tackle this problem successfully. But be wary not to bite off more than you can chew. Take your time and work through this problem meticulously one small piece at a time. And of course don’t expect things to go smoothly. Be prepared for anything, and be willing to adapt when more adversity comes your way.


CONCLUDING THOUGHTS

To overcome adversity certainly ain’t easy. Even when you think you’ve got it all figured out, things always inevitably go wrong. You think you have one problem solved, and then suddenly life throws you another curve ball that messes everything up.

The success you desire to create in your life is never going to follow a straight line moving from Point A to B. It will curve, twist and knot-up on itself many times over before you reach your final destination. But no matter what happens you just have to stay the course.

Instead of getting disheartened when things don’t work out as you had expected, simply choose to continue following the path. Just keep moving forward. Those who persist and persevere for long enough, eventually always succeed in the end.


Six Steps for Overcoming Adversity

 

Imagine for a moment you could develop new habits and methods of thinking where you naturally and effortlessly adopt these ideas into your life. How would that make you feel? Would you feel more fulfilled, empowered and in control?

Yes, there is such simplicity within this IQ Doodle, but of course there is a reason for that. Making positive change doesn’t need to be a complicated process.

How to calm your nerves and relieve anxiety

How to Calm Your Nerves and Relieve Anxiety

Do you struggle controlling your nerves? When facing unfamiliar circumstances, we all tend to get a little nervous. We get this way because we just don’t know how things will turn out. There is uncertainty on the horizon, and this makes us feel a little uneasy. But, feeling nervous can actually be quite advantageous. In fact, it can help us to stay alert and focused. At times, nerves can even turn into excitement if channelled in the right way. But nerves can also at times escalate and become quite overpowering. During such moments it can help to calm your nerves using the following six steps.


1) IDENTIFY WHY YOU FEEL NERVOUS

calm your nerves

In order to calm your nerves you need to first get very clear about what exactly has you feeling so nervous. Yes, you’re nervous about this situation, but what specifically about this situation has you feeling so nervous? Are you nervous because you’re afraid of making a mistake? What mistake? Are you nervous because you might get embarrassed? Doing what? Are you nervous because you’re afraid of what people may think? What people? What will they think? Why do you even care? Why else are you feeling nervous? Continue your search until you find the underlying reasons for feeling nervous in this particular situation.

2) QUESTION YOUR FEARS

calm your nerves

You are feeling nervous right now because there are several underlying fears messing with your brain. For instance, the fear of making a mistake, of criticism, of rejection, of embarrassment, and other fears, are all preventing you from moving forward. These fears are causing you to seriously doubt yourself. In order to cure self-doubt, you need to start questioning the validity of your fears. Does fearing these things actually make any sense? Possibly your imagination is blowing things out of proportion. Potentially things are not as bad as they seem. Question your fears and look for evidence that disproves them.

3) EXPLORE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES

How to Calm Down

One of the best ways to calm your nerves comes in the form of curiosity. Getting curious about why you’re feeling nervous will help you start seeing your situation in a more optimal way. You are of course feeling nervous about your predicament because of how you have chosen to interpret your experience. You are in fact right now telling yourself a story about this situation that is making you feel extremely uneasy. This story is of course the thing that is making you feel nervous. Change this story and start interpreting this situation a little differently, and you will begin seeing your predicament in a brand new light.

4) OUTLINE WORST-CASE SCENARIOS

6 natural ways to calm nerves

By this stage you should be feeling somewhat better about your predicament. However, no matter what you tell yourself about this situation, some uncertainty obviously still exists. Instead of resisting this uncertainty, let’s choose to embrace it. Imagine for a moment the absolute worst-case scenario that could take place. Take time to see these events unfold in your imagination, then watch yourself learning from this experience. Now ask yourself: So what? So what if that happens? It’s not like it’s the end of the world. You probably won’t even care about this a year from now. So why worry? Why get nervous?

5) PREPARE YOURSELF THOROUGHLY

6 natural ways to calm nerves

Even after having made peace with the worst-case scenario, you probably still have some reservations, and therefore still potentially feel somewhat nervous. Things are still uncertain, and you just don’t quite know what will happen next. In order to calm your nerves you need to turn uncertainty into certainty. And the best way to do that is to begin thoroughly preparing yourself for what’s to come. This may of course involve clarifying the goal you want to achieve, identifying the obstacles you will face, gathering any needed resources, and drawing up a plan of action that can help you move forward in a better way.

6) TAKE SMALL STEPS

calm your nerves

Having clarified exactly how to proceed in this situation, it’s now time to finally take the plunge. Begin by taking a long deep breath to settle your thoughts. Center yourself and focus on moving forward one small step at a time. Fully focus your attention on the steps you will take, not on your end goal. Don’t even concern yourself with anything or with anyone else, instead just stay present and be mindful of the moment. And if by chance your nerves are still getting the better of you, then turn this experience into a game. Have fun with the process and learn to laugh at yourself when you goof things up. Just make the best of an awkward situation.


CONCLUDING THOUGHTS

Our nerves are a byproduct of our thoughts and imaginings. How we think about things and the stories we tell ourselves, affects how we feel about our life experiences. Change these thoughts and we change our interpretations, and therefore change how we feel about our life situations.

If you truly want to calm your nerves, then stop taking things so seriously. Nobody is perfect. Striving for perfection rarely works out in the end. Learn to relax and let go. Just enjoy the moment and fully absorb yourself within each experience. What’s the best that could possibly happen? 🙂


Six Steps for Calming Your Nerves

 

Imagine for a moment you could develop new habits and methods of thinking where you naturally and effortlessly adopt these ideas into your life. How would that make you feel? Would you feel more fulfilled, empowered and in control?

Yes, there is such simplicity within this IQ Doodle, but of course there is a reason for that. Making positive change doesn’t need to be a complicated process.

How to Deal with Loneliness

How to Deal with Loneliness

Are you feeling lonely? Does it seem as though you’re living on an island all by yourself? Yes there are all these other people, but for one reason or another you just struggle to connect with them on a meaningful emotional level. Things though weren’t always this way. At one point you were very happy and fulfilled. You had all these wonderful relationships and friendships. However, today your world is very different. Things have changed and you are finding it difficult to deal with loneliness. But things don’t need to be this way. You don’t need to be this way. You can change things by following six steps.


1) ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR FEELINGS

How to Deal with Loneliness

Dealing with loneliness always begins with being honest with yourself. It requires being genuinely honest with how you are feeling in the moment. The worst thing you can do is deny your true feelings. This feeling of loneliness is real, and it is here. Acknowledging that you’re feeling lonely can help you to work through this difficult period of your life far more effectively. There are of course many reasons why you might be feeling lonely. However, all those reasons effectively come down to the fact that you have emotionally disconnected yourself from the world. You need to work on finding that connection once again.

2) EVALUATE YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES

How to Deal with Loneliness

Having openly acknowledged your feelings of loneliness provides you with a great starting point. Your next step though is to dig a little deeper and start figuring out why you have emotionally disconnected yourself from the world. You are obviously feeling lonely for a reason. What’s that reason? When do you most feel lonely? Where exactly does it happen? And, how often do you get that way? Answering these questions can help you to connect with yourself at a deeper emotional level. This of course provides you with a platform to help you learn from this experience and pave the way forward to a brighter future.

3) QUESTION YOUR EXPECTATIONS

How to Cope With Loneliness

4) STOP WALLOWING IN SELF-PITY

How to Deal with Loneliness

Dealing with loneliness is of course extremely difficult. And that voice inside your head is certainly not making life any easier. But the longer you allow that voice to control you, the harder things will become. You’re not to blame, and you’re not at fault. It’s time to forgive yourself and move on. The choices and decisions you made in the past have brought you to this moment. The choices and decision you make in this moment, will create your future. You are good enough, and strong enough, and smart enough to move on. And it doesn’t matter how other people are. Stop comparing. Just focus fully on your own needs. Nothing else matters right now.

5) FOCUS ON YOUR PASSIONS

Coping with loneliness

One of the most effective ways to deal with loneliness comes in the shape of your goals and deepest passions. What is it that you love to do? What is it that makes your heart sing? What things do you want to achieve? Who would you like to meet? How would you like to spend your time? What places would you like to visit? These are all questions that will lead to your deepest passions. Set a goal to follow these passions and to create your life on purpose. Nothing else should matter but you and your happiness. With that in mind, make happiness your number one priority in life, and everything else will progressively fall into place.

6) TAKE RESPONSIBILITY

Get help with loneliness

You’ve played the victim card for far too long. It’s time now to start taking full responsibility for your life, and for your happiness. It’s time to fully commit yourself to doing whatever it takes to make some positive changes. Change of course happens progressively over time. It will happen, but you must set some realistic expectations and goals for making these changes. Take small steps forward by reaching out and connecting with people. For instance, help a stranger in need, join a club or group, or rekindle an old friendship. Allow hope and courage to carry you through this transition period of your life.


CONCLUDING THOUGHTS

Dealing with loneliness is certainly not easy. It’s a difficult journey that takes a lot of courage and strength. That courage and strength is especially needed when taking that first step. That first step is of course what gets you started. Every step that follows will just become easier as you build momentum toward your new life. But you do need courage and faith. You need courage to take that step, and you need faith to know that it will all work out in the end.
