How to Solve Your Own Problems » Higher Level Living

One of my favorite things to do as a coach is teach people how to coach themselves in life. AKA teach them how to solve their own problems and get out of their own way 😉

This might sound silly but it’s powerful! More often than not we are our own worst enemies. We get caught up in our own heads and limit ourselves in life. Truthfully we over think and over complicate just about everything.😑

The secret to solving your problems is to remove yourself from the situation. To take a step back and look at it from a different perspective.

This activity helps you get started…

STEP 1: TAKE YOURSELF OUT OF THE EQUATION.

We can be so close to our own problems that it’s hard for us to see what’s really going on or see possible solutions clearly

STEP 2: ASK YOURSELF – WHAT IS THE PROBLEM YOU WANT TO SOLVE?

Don’t overthink it, just write it down – what problem are you struggling with?

STEP 3: NOW REFRAME IT –

If your best friend came to you for advice because they were struggling with the above problem you wrote down, what advice would you give them?

What three steps would you tell them to take?

We typically have the answers within us and know what is best but we cannot always see it because we’re too close to it, too emotionally connected to it, or we don’t want to face the solution just yet.

When you look at things externally or more objectively it’s easier to see the solution. It’s also so much easier to give advice and help other people solve problems than face the problems in your own life.

So train yourself to consider what outside perspective advice you would give when struggling with something.

And if you figure out the answers but are too afraid of the action it might be time to invest in a coach.

My role as a coach is to help you close the gap on where you are and where you want to be in life. I help you see things more clearly and take more positive action in your life.
