Facing A Difficult Problem? Try Journaling

From time to time, we all face situations which seem to be larger than our capacity to solve. Prayer is, of course, our first and constant process in any situation. And you can add to that an idea that Scott H. Young suggests on his blog: Keep A Journal To Solve Tough Problems.

Scott points out how writing can boost your concentration. It is a way to maintain focus on an issue over time. He also shares thoughts journaling techniques:

• Split a problem into components.
• Enumerate and expand (make a list and expand on each point)
• Place and sort (if you have trouble organizing your thinking, just put it all down on paper and then group similar thoughts together and go from there.

You are in the business of helping other people. Your capacity to help them diminishes if you are struggling with a particularly difficult problem. Add journaling to your arsenal in solving these problems and you'll keep Serving Strong!
