127. Got Problems? No Problem

What this episode covers

In this episode of Life, Lemons & LemonDrops, hosts Greer and Whitnie discuss the idea of not thinking about your problems as a way to solve your problems. When life serves us lemons, our default position is often to ruminate on the bad, often to the detriment of finding an apt solution. The habit of fixating on the negative can leave us overwhelmed, overstressed, and unable to get to the other side of the challenges. More often than not, the solution is right there if you could only see it.  Stopping thoughts about a problem can speed up the time it takes for it to go away, if not eliminate it altogether. When we give energy to a problem, we give it more life and resonance in our brains, which only makes the problem seem more significant—and more stressful.  Stop. Stop thinking about it. Clear your mind, observe your surroundings, be in the moment, and you may find the solution revealing itself as you zero in on the purity of “being in the moment.” As Greer and Whitnie uncover steps to getting into that space, you may realize that problems in your own life are not as bad as they seemed once your perspective shifts.
