Method 1. Clearly state the essence of the problem.
Just as a well-posed question can be considered half the answer, so a clearly formulated problem can be considered half solved. And when you strain your convolutions in order to look differently at the situation that worries you, rethink it, and try to clearly define all this, a new understanding arises inside you. And in life, new opportunities open up before you.
Method 2. Remove yourself and look from the side.
Very often, people react vividly and emotionally to any difficulties, experiencing fear, anger, resentment and other strong negative feelings. All this does not allow us to correctly see the situation, consider the opening prospects and evaluate them. Imagine yourself as a spectator in a circus, in the arena of which a performance is being played out according to your situation. So, from the outside, you will be able to see more possibilities.
Method 3. Simplify the problem.
People tend to complicate things and situations, look for difficult paths and difficult solutions. The easy way is considered unworthy strong man: "I'd rather go uphill than go around it." In fact, life is simple. And the simpler something happens, the more correct and better it is. The simplest solution is often the best one.
Method 4. Focus on the solution.
What you focus on will be attracted into your life. Focusing on the difficulties will only make things worse, increase your anxiety. And everything will seem to you much more complicated than it really is. If you believe that the solution exists and focus all your attention on finding solutions, then your problem will always be solved. Our Subconscious mind itself can find a solution and give a ready answer.
Method 5. Find the information you need.
Often the problem seems unbearable only because a person does not have any specific knowledge. Then you need to carefully look around and understand what else you need to know or what else you need to learn in order to solve this difficulty. If you can't articulate your problem, then this solution is often the best you can do.
Method 6. Find an expert.
If it is not possible to obtain the necessary knowledge or is running out of time, then the best option would be to find an expert in this issue. It is very rare for a person to face difficulties that no one has ever encountered before. Most likely, your situation has already been resolved by someone. And not once. Just find these people.
Method 7: Brainstorm.
Brainstorming is the best way to find solutions. It is good to connect your friends or the same experts for this. The more new ideas are generated, the greater the chance of finding the right solution. Don't drop anything right away. Collect everything and analyze well.
How to quickly find a solution to a problem.
1) Decision tree.
Decision support tool. It is most often used in data analysis and statistics, but it can also be used in ordinary life. A decision tree has a "trunk", "branches" and "leaves". The trunk is the problem, the branches show its attributes, and the leaves show the value. Among the advantages of the method, one should highlight the simplicity of its understanding and interpretation, the absence of the need for data preparation, the ability to work with intervals and categories, the ability to evaluate using static tests, reliability and the ability to process large flows of information without preparatory procedures.
2) Wheel method.
Allows you to relatively quickly find a solution to the problem and evaluate it. It consists of eight steps: first, the problem situation is described in detail, then specific facts are searched and missing information is established, after which the problem is formulated in a positive way. Next, brainstorming is carried out to create a field of ideas for solving the problem, the options found are evaluated for realism, a scenario for practical implementation is thought out, and a detailed action plan is drawn up. At the last stage, actions are performed, after which their effectiveness is evaluated.
3) Method "Three chests".
Designed for even faster problem solving. In the process, it is necessary to fill three "chests" with information. The first contains answers to the question: “What Negative consequences waiting for us if we go down this path? To fill the second, the real threat of the risks contained in the first chest is assessed. The third chest is filled with possible "antidotes" from the threats of the second chest, which are found by brainstorming. As a result, solutions are found, implemented and evaluated.
4)Method of successive approximations.
Basically, it's trial and error. It is preferable to use it when there is little information on the problem. The bottom line is that solutions are consistently put forward and considered. Unsuccessful ideas are discarded, and new ones are proposed in their place, and again tested. There are no special rules for searching and evaluating here - everything is decided subjectively, and the effectiveness of the method depends on how people (or a person) understand the issue, problem solving. When using the method, it is important to take into account the element of chance.
5) Bush Idea Matrix.
This is the method of analysis problem situations and defining the search field for solutions. To implement it, you need to build a matrix of bilateral relations, for which you need to answer the questions: “What?”, “Who?”, “Where?”, “How?”, “Why?”, “What?” and when?". By answering them, a person receives all the information about the problem. If the questions are combined, you can get a great heuristic hint for the solution.
6)
The most popular solution search tool used ordinary people and professionals around the world. The meaning of the matrix is to teach a person to optimally distribute the load, to distinguish between important and urgent, to reduce time for meaningless activities. The matrix consists of four quadrants with two axes - importance and urgency. In each of them, cases and tasks are entered, and as a result, a person receives an objective picture of priority tasks.
7) Descartes square.
A very simple decision-making technique that takes very little time to apply. The technique helps to identify the main selection criteria and evaluate the consequences of the decisions made. To use the technique, you need to draw a square and divide it into four parts. In each part, the question is written: “What will happen if this happens?”, “What will happen if this does not happen?”, “What will not happen if this happens?” and “What won’t happen if it doesn’t happen?”. These questions are points of observation for the problem. It is from these positions that it must be considered. Having answered all the questions, a person receives an objective picture of the state of affairs and the opportunity to assess the prospects. 
Everything will work out if...
1) Collect enough information about the essence of the problem;
2) Analyze the information;
3) Develop as many options for solving the problem as possible;
4) Correctly match your options regarding cost, availability and time;
5) Weigh all the pros and cons;
6) Consider all the possibilities and the likelihood of success;
7) Be sure that this is the solution to the problem.

It is impossible to solve a problem at the same level of consciousness at which it arose. For some reason, this famous Einsteinian statement is always forgotten by clients at a psychotherapist's appointment. Trying to understand his situation, the client builds all sorts of assumptions, hypotheses and tries to connect a psychotherapist to this.
Two heads are better - and the second is generally competent - now we will find an explanation, an insight will happen, and the problem will be solved. This is how the client thinks, and as a rule, falls into a stupor when, instead of clarity, he gets a strange feeling of fog in his head.
I appreciate this state, and I always rejoice when it happens in therapy. This indicates that something important is happening. This means that there is an opportunity to go beyond your life paradigm, a little further beyond the zone of awareness.
All previous ideas have failed, so is it worth it to "look for answers inside" - they are not there. Just as the therapist does not have them, because he has his own outlook on life and his own ways of coping with its challenges. And God forbid he advise anything from his situation.
Truth, the way out is born somewhere in the middle, in unexplored territory. Another person nearby helps to get there - where, he himself does not know. Moreover, the picture of the world, the psychotherapist's paradigm can also change. We reach a new level of perception of reality when we take a different, different from ours, view of things. Such is the nature of the human psyche.
Levels of psychological problem resolution.
1. There is no problem, despite the fact that she constantly reminds of herself with vague anxiety, strange discomfort, a feeling of dissatisfaction. All this is attributed to psychological factors therefore, efforts are aimed at relieving symptoms.
2. The problem is perceived as psychological, but it is explained, for the most part, by the influence of circumstances: the family is not the same, the country is not suitable, the mental organization is too fine, it was not lucky. An irrepressible curiosity about causes and a relentless search for recipes to "do something about it." Answers to "how" questions are most valued.
3. The reasons are studied in detail, new touches are periodically added to the picture. The problem is different, but still relevant. The state of "I know everything, nothing changes." There comes an understanding that the answers to the question "how" are not only useless, but sometimes harmful.
4. Spontaneous insights (insights) in situations related to the problem, which cover the sphere of emotions and feelings ("aha-experiences" according to Perls). So far it has not been possible to change reactions and behavior, but it is a matter of time (from this level). Along with the pain of accepting responsibility for what is happening, comes a feeling of power over your life, and this is inspiring.
5. The ability to track habitual reactions and patterns in field situations related to the problem in time, or with a slight delay. "Eyes are opened" to possibilities that were previously blocked or forbidden. Returns the freedom to choose to do things differently.
As you understand, the topic of this article will be devoted to finding effective ways to help solve the problem. Many people simply immerse themselves in the problem, making it even bigger. It's kind of like a pain. Imagine that you have a sore on your hand that does not heal because you scratch it. In addition, it not only does not heal, but becomes even larger. And some people, having no problems, come up with them. You can read about this in the article - It is described in detail there.
How to solve a problem?
You know what Laura Silva says: "Either solve your problems or stop whining". So the first step in solving the problem is to renounce the problem. That is, you do not plunge into it with your head, do not ask questions: “Well, why did this happen to me?”, "How can I solve this problem?", “Why is it always me… why am I?” and so on. Instead, you begin to see the problem not as your own, but as someone else's. You have probably noticed how skillfully we solve other people's problems. They are not ours, they don’t hurt us, they don’t cause bad emotions, you remain cool and sober, which means problem solving comes to you very quickly and in several variants.
Many people think that only they have problems and others do not. The fact is that our whole life consists of choice, decision-making and, of course,. You can't hide from them anywhere. It's just that some have more and some have less. It also depends on the person, on their point of view. After all, what some people consider problems, others think it is. Good luck because now you can do so-and-so. As the saying goes: . So second step in problem solving a new perspective on these issues.
Let's look at an example here. For example, someone was fired from their job. What do most people do? At first, they are indignant, swear, repeat that they were not treated fairly, break down on loved ones, bite their nails. This is a normal reaction. In my opinion, this needs to be done. But what happens next? Time passes, and a person, instead of solving his problem with unemployment, begins to lie on the couch with beer in front of the TV set and mentally resent that he was treated badly. Here is the same sore that does not heal due to the fact that he scratches it. Then the problem really becomes a problem.
What is the minority doing? They analyze what happened with a cool head, then ask themselves the question: "What can I do to solve this problem", “How do I solve the problem in the best way for me?”. Then they go through the options, and what happens is they find new job, which is in many ways better than the one they got fired from, or they open their own business and start working for themselves. And when you work for yourself, no one can fire you. In short, in this way people find new opportunities that they have not seen before. For them, the black stripe really becomes a take-off. And all because they are thinking about solving problems, and not poking around in what happened.
So if something happened to you, first calm down, and then, with a cool head, start asking yourself promotional questions: "How to solve a problem?", "What do I need to fix the situation", “What can I do now to get out of this impasse?”. As I said, the answer will definitely come to you. By the way, here's an article for you - It says how failure becomes success.
So, we got acquainted with the first two ways, namely: detachment from the problem and asking yourself propulsive questions. They are damn commonplace, so now let's move on to heavy artillery.
How to solve a problem?
So, as you understand, in order to solve problems, you first need to emotionally calm down. But how to do it, because emotions just overflow? Here is where we can help! I am not kidding. It is at the alpha level that all problems are solved, restrictions are removed, all diseases are treated. If you don't believe me, you can read the article -. There, Laura talks about how meditation effectively helps solve problems. I highly recommend you read it. Get a lot of impressions.
So!!! The first thing you should do is sit yourself on the sofa. This is not so easy to do, because thoughts about the problem just swarm in my head. So this is the hardest step. Here I advise you two options: the first is to wait until the emotions subside (then it will be easier for you to sit on the sofa), the second is to take a warm bath and lie down there. For some reason, we always climb into a warm bath willingly. It is the second method that I suggest to you. Just in the bath or shower you relax as much as possible. And it is at this moment that non-standard ideas for solving problems can come to you. As Einstein said: "Why are all the most good ideas come to me during the shower?. You just literally do not understand, otherwise it turns out really funny !!!
So, it turned out to relax, however, in order to solve the problem, you should visit the alpha level as long as possible. The solution to the problem does not come immediately (although anything can happen). Therefore, I recommend that you download a special sound that contains alpha tempo rhythms. You can download by going to the article -. Also, I recommend that you visit the pages - and. All this will help you relax as much as possible and. If you do this, then consider that you have solved your problem.
The following powerful problem solving tool that I will give you will definitely help you solve the problem. Only a few know about it, and you are lucky that you are on this page. In combination with the above tips, you will not have a single problem that you cannot solve. This method is called -. I already wrote about him, you can read. This method takes a lot of time, and its effectiveness cannot be overestimated. You just take a piece of A4 sheet, write a question at the top of the sheet: "How do I solve a problem related to..." and write down all the thoughts that come into your head. I don't care what you write there. You can write absolute nonsense. The main thing is to answer the question and write without stopping.
This method helps to disable logical thinking, repeatedly increases focus, connects . The main thing here is to write and write without stopping. The solution may surface in five hours, or even longer. The main thing is not to give up!!! Thus, you will find solutions to any problems, any difficulties.
Finally, I want to tell you that it would be better if you "problem" replace with the word "situation". Word "problem" very poorly perceived at a subconscious level, causes black coloring, unpleasant sensations. And here is the word "situation" perceived much nicer than the word "problem". Such a replacement will also help you solve problems in the best way.
Summary:
- We change the word "problem" on word "situation".
- We renounce the problem (we perceive it as not our own).
- We relax as much as possible (go to the alpha level).
- Take a sheet, ask a question "How to solve a problem?", A "How to solve the situation?" and write whatever comes to mind.
Well good luck to you in solving trials ..., situations.
how to solve a problem, problem solving

Today I will share with you the technology of solving any life problems. It works even in cases where, at first glance, there are no solutions. Read this article to the end, I have prepared a gift for you.
When it comes to problems, one great anecdote comes to mind. At the interview, they ask the question: “What talents do you have?” The candidate thought about it and answered: “I have one talent: I can turn any elementary task into a hopeless situation with a bunch of problems.”
Most of humanity has this talent. In simple words this is called "make a molehill out of a fly." Why is this happening? The main reason is an attempt to solve the problem while being in an excited emotional state. Remember the fragment from the film "Diamond Arm": Chief, everything is gone.
In 2008, when my wife was eight months pregnant, the head of the company I worked for announced the closure of the business. How? Why? Why now? Thoughts popped up in my head: “What now?” “How to repay a loan taken at 36% per annum?” “In a month to give birth, but there is no money and debts through the roof ...” How did this internal dialogue on emotions end? Three days of high blood pressure. Did I solve this problem by winding myself up to white heat. Of course not, I only increased it. What happened three days later? I calmed down and started solving this problem. First, I called all the suppliers and asked for help finding a suitable job option. Most of them automatically answered what they would mean (it is not clear: me, my situation or ...)
This incident gave me the opportunity to determine who is who in my environment. One person responded. His name is Dmitry, to whom I will be grateful until the end of my days. He introduced me to a wonderful and decent person, to my current business mentor Pavel Viktorovich, and a new round of my career and personal development began in my career.
Analyzing this situation now, I understand that when any problem arises, you need to ask yourself questions not “Why?”, But “For what?” Behind the solution of any problem, there is always the same or even greater opportunity.
I would like to say a few words about questions. Asking yourself an endless series of questions "Why?" You stir up emotions that overshadow all common sense. And you drive yourself into a dead end. Of course, you need to understand the reason for this obstacle, but the question should be formulated as follows: “What does this problem signal and what will its solution lead to?” Problems and obstacles are training.
How to give yourself first aid when the next test has come into your life. Usually everyone says: "Calm down, everything will be fine, etc." How to calm down? And what does it mean to calm down?
So, as soon as life throws you another challenge, you need to remember " Golden Rule": "Never solve problems on emotions." Remember what happens to you when you face problems? The pulse quickens, the breathing goes astray, there is a mess in the head ... In other words, panic. A simple breathing exercise will help you calm down.
Take a deep breath, raising your hands up as if you are trying to absorb as much as possible into yourself and lower your hands as you exhale. Let's do this exercise together. As you do this, focus on your breath. Try to keep the inhalation and exhalation as long as possible and each of them took from 15 seconds to 30 seconds in time. Repeat as needed. The result of this exercise will be the normalization of the pulse and breathing and the readiness to move from the problem to its solution.
If this action does not help, go to plan "B". Set aside the problem and go for a walk in the fresh air. I'm quite serious ... The only exception: someone is ill and needs an immediate response. In all other cases, half an hour in the fresh air will bring benefits many times more than you will continue to sit and be stupid, not knowing what to do. Believe me, nothing fatal will happen in 30 minutes.
After the walk, start looking for a solution. The most wonderful exercise “Brainstorming” will help us with this. To do this, we need a pen and a sheet of paper. It can be done alone and with the help of other people.
What is it for? When a problem arises, it stands like a concrete wall in front of us and prevents us from seeing what opportunities lie behind it. Our task is to “push” this wall so that it becomes a bridge between the place where we are now and where we want to go. In other words, turn the problem into a subgoal.
The technology is very simple. Write your problem at the top of a piece of paper. Then start writing solutions to everything that comes to mind. Forget about all the possible and impossible, nonsense is not nonsense, real or not, do not edit, do not think, do not suppress the imagination, so you can miss the fun. Just get all your ideas down on paper. All ideas are good. Brainstorming helps to get rid of the "garbage" in the head and helps to believe that there is more than one way out of the situation. Nothing so excites us to action as the clarity of the direction of movement.
When you run out of ideas, choose a few options that excite you the most, even though they may be intimidating for their sheer magnitude. Do not remove other options. Try to find in them at least something that can help you.
When solutions are identified, write out a plan for achieving it and immediately begin targeted actions.
When any problem arises, you need to understand the main thing: “Never in our life there are problems beyond our strength and the fact that every problem hides the same or even greater opportunity.” This understanding will add confidence that you can handle any problem.
And now the promised gift. If you have a problem that you cannot solve on your own, voice it in the comments to this video and I will choose the three most interesting options and help you find solutions absolutely free of charge. If this problem really hurts you, hurry up.
That's all for today. Until we meet again, friends.
