What do you do if your problem-solving approach is hindered by emotional obstacles?

A positive problem orientation can have a significant positive impact on how successful you are in solving problems and coping with stressful situations. Ain't suggesting that you believe that "life is a bond of cherries ",rather I encourage you to adopt the belief that problem are normal part of life and that you extend effort and time, you will be able to adequately deal with most of them A better phrase is "a realistic optimism"that is not blind any thinking that every thing will be okay,,,but that there are steps you can take to improve your problem so that everything is not all bad. At time when people feel overwhelmed, they pay more attention to all the negative feelings associated with the problem.

If your problem-solving approach is hindered by emotional obstacles, take steps to manage and address those emotions. Practice self-awareness to understand the root causes of the emotional obstacles. Use techniques such as deep breathing, mindfulness, or journaling to regulate your emotions and gain clarity. Seek support from trusted colleagues, mentors, or therapists to gain perspective and explore strategies for emotional management. Take breaks when needed to recharge and refocus. Consider implementing stress-reduction techniques like exercise or meditation to improve emotional well-being. Ultimately, addressing emotional obstacles will enhance your ability to approach problems with clarity and objectivity.

The reason emotions hinders us to solve problems is due to our subjective thinking. This is best resolved by discussing with other peers to explore objective feedback so that valuable discussion can be made to find or research more in finding the best solution. It can also become an iterative process where one is taking the opportunity to learn and grow. This takes time and valuable discussion needs to take place with different view points. The more input / feedback, we receive, the better the outcome..reading also changes our perspective.

- Recognize that your emotions are high - Don’t insist on solving the problem that very moment - Give yourself time to gather your emotions and come to terms with your feelings -Figure out what triggered you so you can be more self aware next time.

Recognise your emotions and give yourself time to heal. Emotions are normal and are based on some events. You may take the help of a psychologist to discuss the things which have been bothering you in some negative way. Then gradually reflect back and take baby steps to resolve the problem and find appropriate solutions.

Recognize your emotions. Take a step back to gain perspective. Practice stress management techniques like deep breathing or exercise. Reframe the problem with a calmer and clearer mind. Generate potential solutions and choose the most effective one.
