First of all, many problems are not going to have a simple fix. Many problems are not resolved over night. So we need to be patient with ourselves and we need to get some tools in our problem solving toolbox or some arrows in our quiver. When a challenge arises, pull them out one at a time. Reach over your shoulder and pull one of these arrows out of the quiver.
1. The ability to allow yourself to be in process. The gift of grace.
2. A reminder that other people's decisions are theirs to make.
3. A reminder that I am ok, even if I don't like what is going on.
4. Try a conscious releasing from your feelings about the outcome
5. Engage yourself in something to keep you busy. Help someone else and get your mind off of the issue.
6. See the person involved, and see them standing next to Jesus. He loves them too.
7. keep at it. It takes time to change the way that we think.
It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
