Two Problem Solving Skills

Problems are a routine impediment in everybody's life. With proper approach, the problems can be solved effectively. Then, practice the procedure given here and solve your problems.

In this world, every one has plenty of problems. But solutions for the problem can be found by proper visualization and proper attention.

Visualization:

The level of visualization depends on practice. Once you understand how to visualize, then it becomes more creative and can find quick solutions also.

One should visualize clearly in as much detail as possible. Once this is done, the unconscious mind suggests solutions. Many times, the sub conscious mind will give many new things or matters which you are not aware of. For example, you visualize a customer visiting your gas station and filling gas. You also notice more people visiting the Station simultaneously and filling up gas. This is an indication that you need more than one gas pump so that you meet the demand.

Similarly, you feel insufficient carpet space in the small apartment you live. Then visualize an empty apartment. The apartment is now looking bigger. Then the sub conscious mind will tell you that fewer furniture or proper closets to keep things is the answer.

Directing the attention:

What we see always depends on how we direct our attention. If you see decency in a person, it is because you are looking for the good in the person. Contrary to this, if you look for the bad in the person, then the person will appear rude.

Similarly, if you just look at say, red cars, you will realize that the red cars are more in number than what you actually thought.

The concept of directing the attention can be used for solving problems. Here is a simple example: The manufacturer of Backpacker's (tourists) tent finds that the tent manufactured by him gets too hot in the sun quickly. The manufacturer using the 'directing the attention' technique consults his unconscious mind for an answer. The unconscious mind will work for him and gives him many options.

May be unconscious mind will suggest the manufacturer to pitch the tent in shade. But this is not always practicable. Alternatively, light weight canvas can be used to provide shade to the tent. Another alternative is a thin wet cloth on the tent will be more helpful. Now, the manufacturer can choose the best option.

It means to say that one should direct the attention towards knowing the solutions rather than reasons why the problem arose?

So, just visualize and direct the attention to the solutions and practice this method as often as possible.
