Write your problems

“ A problem well stated is a problem   half solved”, Charles Kattering.

There is something very special that happens when you take out a piece of paper and write every single one of your problems on it. It is very much like the peaceful feeling you get after telling your best friend about something that has been troubling you for weeks. A weight somehow falls from your shoulders. You feel lighter, calmer and freer. Our minds can be our best friends and in opposite they can be our worst enemies also. 

If you keep thinking about your problems, pretty soon you will get depressed and will find yourself into the world of problems. The mind is a strange creature in this regard, the things you want it to forget, it remembers. Write all your worries on a piece of paper and start encounter your problems one by one. If you do so, they will no longer be able to fester in your mind and drain your valuable energy. This simple exercise will also permit you to put your problems into perspective and tackle them in an orderly, well-planned sequence.

More surprisingly when you write your problems on paper and see the paper, you will get to know some of the problems do not exist and we are worrying about them in advance. Among the many successful people who have used this technique are martial arts master Bruce Lee and Winston Churchill who once said,’ It helps to write down half a dozen things which are worrying. Two of them, say, disappear; about two, nothing can be done, so it’s no use worrying; and two perhaps can be settled.
