From planning when to have a baby to when to send a child off to college, as much as a parent thinks he or she has everything figured out, along comes a surprise or two that throws everything off its course! But before you give up, just know that there are always additional ways to achieve goals. You don't have to let feelings of discouragement get in the way of your dreams.
1. What is your Plan B, C, D...since Plan A is no longer doable? Take a deep breath, with pen and paper in hand begin to write out what you need to do next.
2. Check the Internet for new keyword phrases and other thoughts that come to mind related to your challenge. There may be answers in places that you least expect online. (ie. yellow page directories, forums, videos, blog radio, online bible sites, free article web pages, and blogs like this one.)
3. Seek out a source who "has been there, done that" to find out how he or she solved a similar dilemma.
4. Walk away from the trouble. Sometimes a trip away from the place that you first heard the bad news will clear your mind a bit. When dealing with a troublesome individual, choose a different way to communicate with the person. You might want to consider the help of a mediator.
5. Re-evaluate your information. At times we jump to conclusions without fully reading material or seeing the benefits of the challenges we face.
When you know that things are getting to be a bit difficult to plan/discuss, reconnect with yourself! External people, places and things can rob you of your peace. No matter what issue you are dealing with, try hard not to lose your mind in it! Break down all tasks/issues into smaller things to do. Keep away from those individuals who like to say, "What if...What are you going to do...If I were you...Why don't you..." far too often than you can handle their suggestions/concerns/problems. The more you let their words permeate your ears, the more stressed you can become.
Have a good week!
