Solving Your
Problems
Are you
someone who turns over your problems to someone else? Do you look for
others to give you the solutions? Perhaps you’re accustomed to picking
up the phone and calling your sister, your mother, or your best friend.
Life is
unpredictable and you never know when your safe person or problem-solver
may not be there for you. Next time you’re faced with a problem, don’t
grab the phone. Sit down, take out a piece of paper, write down some
solutions, and, before you know it, you’ll have worked it out on your
own. Being able to tackle things by yourself is a major step toward
self-empowerment.
Working out your own solutions provides you with a sense of freedom and
security that is unequaled.
This
doesn’t mean you should leave your husband, disregard your friends, or
make pivotal family decisions without consulting the other members
involved. What it means is that you can do what you must by yourself,
you have the answers inside, and it’s crucial to your recovery that you
know this. You are there for you.
One
excellent resource I recommend is The
Clarocet
Encyclopedia. It is very detailed and informative. The encyclopedia
does not simply provide information on causes and symptoms of anxiety,
but delves much deeper into the psyche. It has helped me to find real
relief.
