You may say that you want to tackle \u2018the\u2019 problem, solve it, handle it and move on, but If you have been \u2018working on\u2019 the same problem for more than, let\u2019s say, a decade (is that enough time to tackle it?), then maybe you are doing one or more of these 5 things to ensure that your problem stays with you!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Deny It.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 If you are faced with a situation or event that is too uncomfortable or upsetting to accept, just plain deny it.You can either deny it in its entirety.\u00a0 \u201cWhat problem? There\u2019s no problem here.\u201d\n

    -or-<\/p>\n

    You can admit that the problem exists, but say with conviction, \u201cIt\u2019s not as bad as it looks.”<\/li>\n

  2. Avoid It.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 You can avoid your problem by steering clear of it, dodging it or sidestepping it, but know this:\u00a0 the inevitable showdown is lurking in the dark shadows of your sidesteps.\u00a0 The energy that you are using to avoid the problem is more than likely far greater than the energy needed to simply handle it.<\/li>\n
  3. Resist It.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 Fight it down, push it back; simply put, do not feel the unpleasant emotions that accompany your problem.\u00a0 You can attempt to wrestle your feelings out of existence.\u00a0 A fruitless endeavor, by the way.\u00a0 At some point, the emotions will rise and bite you in the tush!<\/li>\n
  4. \u00a0Blame It.<\/strong>\u00a0 For goodness sake, the problem isn\u2019t your fault, is it?\u00a0 Pass it on; blame someone else or blame the circumstances. You\u2019ve not been short on excuses in the past, have you?\u00a0 Go for it!<\/li>\n
  5. Resigned to It.<\/strong>\u00a0 Join me as I throw my arms up in the air and say, \u201cOh well.\u201d\u00a0 If the problem is too big for you to handle, just admit defeat.\u00a0 If the role of victim suits you, wear it!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Spread the word \u2026 NOT the icing!<\/em><\/p>\n
