Focus on the Problem

Identify a problem or situation that is causing you stress.

Brainstorm five (5) ideas that could either solve the problem or remove you from the situation.

Turn your best idea into a solution by planning actionable steps.

Take the first (small) step today.

Set a deadline to complete the rest of the steps.

*Write down the deadline (or add it to your mobile calendar) to help you remember!

Problem or situation causing me stress: Searching for a full-time job.

5 ideas to solve the problem:

• Start a new job that is a good fit for my strengths and skill sets.
• Continue my daily movement, meditation, and mindfulness practice.
• Decrease negative self-talk patterns by 50%.
• Add a 5 – 10 minute Peloton morning meditation upon waking 3 – 5 days/week.
• Write down 3 – 5 things I am grateful for each night 3 – 5 days/week.

Tomorrow morning I will do a 5 minute Peloton morning meditation with Kristin McGee. To support my commitment, I will add the guided meditation to my iCal the night before.
