1. Take Action

2. • To prevent your problems from taking over your life, solve
them ASAP so they don’t remain inside your head.
• The brain creates stress when you have unsolved
problems.
• The kinds of thoughts that make you stress out the most
are the ones that keep you pondering for days & nights.
• The longer your problems are unsolved, the higher your
stress level becomes & your mental strength lowers in
ability to handle tasks productively.

3. • Whatever you’re facing, do something about it, even if a
negative outcome develops.
• If your plan involves other people, don’t wait until everyone
agrees to start taking action.
• Don’t be afraid to ask for help, as there is a good chance that
others may feel the same way as you, but lack the initiative to
take action first.
• As you start to take action, resources & people will manifest to
help you become successful. The world will find ways to help
you out.

4. • The 1st thing you want to do when a problem emerges is to
write down a list of options/solutions to your problem.
• Next, arrange them in order from best to good to solve your
problem.
• Take action right away with the 1st solution. If the 1st solution
doesn’t work, then proceed onto the next one.
• Don’t quit until your problem is solved.
• Sometimes certain problems may take 3 or 4 tries before it’s
solved, so be patient.

5. • The 1st benefit is an increase of problem solving skills.
• The more problems you overcome, the easier it is to
handle difficult problems in the future because of your
experiences in creative solutions.
• The 2nd benefit is an increase of inner strengths, for it
takes a lot of strength & courage to face problems.
• By tackling problems head on, you gain more confidence
at the end of your journey. The more difficult the problem,
the higher your confidence level becomes.

6. • The 3rd benefit is control over your life by confronting your
situations to make them better, rather than counting on or
blaming others.
• Blaming others won’t solve your problems, but will make them
worst.
• The 4th benefit is a decrease in stress levels the moment you
take action.
• The brain cannot multi-task well, so developing a plan gives
the brain something to focus completely on.
• Your brain worries less because it knows there’s a chance that
your problem will be solved since you have a plan.
