The Solution is not in the Problem

Something that I am continually amazed about is how coaching finds solutions by redirecting our focus to what we truly want. Our reactions are like clockwork; if there is something we want to change in our life we automatically focus on it and try to problem solve it. Makes sense doesn't it? But, what if, instead of problem solving and ultimately focusing on what we don't want, we put all of our focus on exactly what we do want, would that also be a way of 'solving' the problem? I am going to suggest, YES!

Staying in resonance with all of the things that we do want is the solution to the problem. Einstein once said, "We cannot solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." This statement is exactly true. Try it! Instead of trying to figure your way out or stop a limiting belief or non-productive habit, focus and contemplate its opposite. What are all the possibilities beyond this self imposed limiting belief? What are great productive habits you can start doing today? As your focus moves to this place and away from your 'problem' you will feel a mental and emotional shift. You can really feel it right when you do it! Thinking it and feeling it will then turn to acting on it which will then change your results. Problem? What problem?
