Take Away

• Be able to clarify and reduce problems using a

SIMPLE FORMULA and 3 STEPS

1. Use EMOTIONS to MINIMIZE PROBLEMS instead

of maximizing them

2. Determine if the PROBLEM is “REAL” or NOT

3. Determine if you have CONTROL or NOT and

what to do in each case

• WHITE and BLUE cards

Why This Topic

1. Simple idea that helps

2. Easy to understand and apply

3. We all can use it immediately 4. Universal application




In NATURE there is no such thing as a PROBLEM

Everything is in flow along a path of least

resistance. All living things are at one with this

flow and at home in their environment – with

one exception…

Why do WE have ALL the problems? It’s NOT FAIR!




What Are PROBLEMS Anyway?

PROBLEM

Focusing on what we DON’T WANT amplifies the problem

because we get more of what we focus ourTHOUGHTS

andEMOTIONAL ENERGY on!

LAW OF EXPECTATION etc.


NEGATIVE EMOTION



Step 1

• Flipping our NEGATIVE emotions to POSITIVE by FOCUSING ON WHAT WE WANT instead of what

we don’t want

–

Something Magical Happens…• Focusing on what we REALLY WANT means we’re CREATING

an environment that ATTRACTS SOLUTIONS

• POSITIVE EMOTION is created when we FOCUS ON WHAT WE

WANT

• Feel the NEGATIVE EMOTION and say “Ok, I Know

What I Don’t Want – What Do I Really Want?”

Step 1: Important Points

• It’s impossible to focus on 2 things simultaneously –

we’re forced to choose one or the other

• Our EMOTIONS tell us how we’re focusing our energy

– NEGATIVE EMOTIONS are just as important as POSITIVE EMOTIONS (if not more)

• NEGATIVE EMOTION means that you're FOCUSING

ENERGY on what you DON’T WANT and not on what

you DO WANT




Step 2

• Determine if the PROBLEM is “ REAL” or NOT

• Key Questions:

– Why does the SHOULD exist? (Who Cares and Why?)

– Is ACTUAL factual? (how do you know it’s true?)

–

How was the COMPARISON made? (Apples to Apples?)• If answers are CRYSTAL CLEAR then the problem

is probably REAL!





Step 3

• Determine if you have “ CONTROL” or NOT

• You have CONTROL if you can CHANGE the

SHOULD, ACTUAL or COMPARISON

–

Change the one(s) that’s win-win for ALL! – If you can only change the ACTUAL, then take

immediate action– Getter Done!





Step 3

• Determine if you have “ CONTROL” or NOT

• No CONTROL means let go and ride the path of least resistance (be part of NATURE) – A “Do Nothing Situation” (the problem will resolve itself)

– Lessons come to those who don’t recognize they have no

control!• Always remember that you can control what you

focus on!

Rise time



Summary

1. Always focus on what you WANT – not on what you

DON’T WANT

– Use White Card

– The difference in RESULTS is like Day and Night

2. Change the SHOULD, ACTUAL and/or the

COMPARISON – whichever is win-win for all!3. Let go when you don’t have control!

– Use Blue Card
