Did that big problem throw you off center? Do you have an unresolved problem that's distracting you from your goal?
Centered problem solving keeps us focused whether or not the problem is solved.
We stay focused when we remember to come back to our center, to breathe, to stay aware of what is going on right now without judging it or pulling it into the past. Centered problem solving keeps us grounded when the emotional wind threatens to blow us away.
Find the balance you need for this situation, right now, within your strengths of courage, creativity, clarity and compassion. Somewhere within that reserve is your ability to solve that problem and remain focused during the difficult work of finding the right solution.
You can do it.
You've done it before.
