Stress and problems generally go hand in hand. Similar to a popular song: Mo Problems Mo Stress! But most of the time the stress has more to do with how relate to the problems than the actual problems themselves.
Question: How much of a problem do we make our problems? For most, the answer is a big deal and surrounded by lots of stress and chaos.
Is there a better way we can deal with problems? YES! When you are faced with a problem, view it not as a point of stress, but rather a TM...teachable moment. With every problem, we have a choice on how we are going to view and deal with the problem. I am suggesting looking at your problems from a teachable moment point of view.
With every problem, there is an opportunity to learn and grow. Simply, every problem presents a teachable moment that we can improve from. Now that is not to say the adversity is fun or we should enjoy problems. Not at all. But what I am encouraging is that we can learn from every one of our problems. If we view our problems as teachable moments and a chance to grow, the stress is lifted from us and we can make much better choices.
