There are, occasionally, simple problems
with simple, easy to implement solutions... far more frequently - I believe -
there are complex problems... the 1st crucial step is to recognize there is a
problem - awareness.
the second, complicated, often
multifaceted step is the problem solving process - often this is really a whole
series of steps.
gathering info - some of which
helps, some not.
trying out each part takes time, patience,
possibly money, effort, perseverance, possibly some bravery.
When I realize or recognize a
problem, I want to figure out the solution - the answer - right away, and fix
it... and I want to know the end result - that it's going to work. Sometimes this is possible, but oftentimes
not - the process has to be gone through. Often there are changes in plans
along the way. There are some things we
have control over, much that we typically don't.
I'm learning... I'm grateful I have
a therapist I can speak to honestly about my anxieties, the messy, knotted,
not-so-simple stuff. She's getting to
know me more bit by bit, gaining understanding of my visual and vestibular disorders.
Being able to do something doesn't
mean it's going to be easy, but rebuilding my life is worth it.
