As the old adage goes, that which you have feared has come upon you. In other words, how do you get through your current situation or challenge?

The answer is with a renewed mind, step- by- step and moment- by- moment. You must face the situation head on, setting the intention of maneuvering in order to maneuver successfully through it.

Ask yourself these Questions regarding your current situation or challenge:

What is my current Challenge?
Take the time to thoroughly take a look at the situation regardless of how difficult it may appear. Write the challenge down, focusing on one challenge at a time.

What are my perceptions about my challenge?
You must look at the situation from your perspective only, as it will be you who turns the situation around. Although you may seek the help of others, you must first define the situation as you view it.

What are the thoughts in my mind right now regarding my challenge?
Thoughts turn into reality. For a few minutes or as long as it takes focus in and write down the thoughts you’ve had about this situation. Be honest with yourself, this is information only you can provide.

What are the emotion(s) I am feeling about this situation?
Write down your true state of mind around this situation, not the one you’d like to project but your TRUE state of mind and the emotions that you feel when you allow yourself to feel them.

What actions am I currently taking around to address the challenge?
Take a look at your situation and decide if you are taking action, playing the victim or waiting for the situation to disappear. Write down your actions whether you view them positively or negatively.

What are my results (negative or positive)?
What have you achieved with the perceptions, thoughts, feelings & actions that you have had around your current situation and/or challenge? If you have honestly answered the above questions, you have created a situation and/or challenge you wish to change. In order to make the ideal change, go back and answer all the same exact questions with your ultimate vision or ideal resolution in mind. You will be pleasantly surprised at how the challenge seems so much smaller and manageable. Taking the time to write things out isn worth the time it takes;, it allows you to see just how much power and ability you have to create the desired outcome for yourself.

What is the message(s) stored in my brain regarding this challenge/situation?
You have so many childhood messages stored in your head that no longer serve you as an adult. Make a note of those messages and decide to replace the ones that are of no use with powerful affirmations that speak to the essence of who you are. Post them around your house or in your car to be reminded to feed yourself only good thoughts.

Understanding that fear has no place in your life when you realize the truth of who you are - , a powerful, uniquely designed, problem solver. You must take control of your thoughts in order to steer your life in the direction you desire. Once you do so, fear will no longer be allowed to hitch a ride.

Designate consistent time and energy on working towards the resolution of your situation. Acknowledge that many before you have encountered similar experience(s). Therefore, look for books, tapes, and local support groups, and know that you are never truly alone even when feeling your loneliest, no matter how lonely you feel.

Continually feed your mind with thoughts and affirmations of peace, abundance, support, love and success. Remember to write them down and post them where they will be seen and read frequently. By embracing new progressive thoughts, all fears will dissipate into the nothingness from which they came.
