Relax the Overwhelm
Have you ever tried TOO hard to solve a problem?
It's possible. I've been know to over-think a problem. People sometimes take the spaghetti approach -- throw a bunch of solutions at the problem and see what sticks.
Sometimes it works. It doesn't always. Sometimes finesse wins the day. Or patience. Or collaboration.
It isn't always necessary to overwhelm a problem in order to solve it. Maybe, like in the martial arts, it pays to let the problem fall on its own with just a gentle re-direction from you.

Find the Positive Choices
Sometimes our biggest problems are filled with positive choices.
Dig digger. Think harder. Ask more. Stay curious and open. The positive choices are there.
