Who Would You Be Without Problems?

Last time, I shared the blog I had done a few years ago about releasing your addiction to problems. Release Yourself From Jail

This time I am going to explore that a bit more. Let me ask you, do you believe that you must have problems?

Are you like the people in TV shows where each episode you must have some problem that you can dedicate your time to solving? Let’s face it, in most shows they have some huge problem that they must spend the rest of the episode or even the rest of the season fixing!

Is your life like that?

Who would you be without those problems, right?

If the money, the kids, the house, the job, the spouse, the car, the family and so on were not a problem….WHO WOULD YOU BE?

Do you say, “I could create so much in my life!”

Or do you say, “That just isn’t possible!”

Or something in between?

Are you addicted to your problems? Do you believe that you wouldn’t exist without them or that people would ignore you if you didn’t have problems?

How much of our day do you spend talking, sharing, gossiping about your problems and the problems your friends, co-workers, family and even celebrities? A Little, A Lot or too much you don’t even want to add it up?

Do you say things like “I can’t do that or have that because I have this to deal with…or that to take care of…or this problem has to come first”? All of which defends the rightness of your problem and limitations you create based on the problem.

How much have you locked yourself and your energy into the situation? What keeps you there?

So again, who WOULD you be without your problems?

Do you allow your problems to define who you are and what you can do?

Do you use them to define your “purpose” in life?

Do you use them to create limits and limitations in your life that you believe you cannot go beyond?

Or maybe you prefer to not go beyond those limitations, so you use the problems as an excuse? Did that hit home a bit?

Perhaps those problems are all the excuses that you maintain so you don’t have to create your life beyond what it currently is so you can remain right where you are in the safety of sameness? Is that where you really want to be now?

Maybe you are allowing your problems to distract you from truly creating something new and different in your life.

What if there was a different way?

Ask Questions

What if you could create your life rather than creating problems and solutions?

What if you didn’t always have to have something or someone to fix, to work on or to rescue? It would be wonderful to be able to focus on fun rather than problems. Right?

The next time you start complaining about your problems, stop and ask yourself a few questions:

• What is the benefit of complaining about this?
• What is this complaining creating for you; something good or something not so good?
• Is there a way for you to connect to people without having problems, trauma and drama to complain about?
• What other topics could you discuss?
• What other activities could you participate in with them?

Create Your Life

Take a look at what you would like to start creating in and as your life.

Ask yourself a few questions about that life you’d like to have:

• What if I just chose differently instead of creating a problem?
• What problems have I created that I am now ready to let go of?
• What am I now capable of creating that I have never created before?
• What fun can I create today?
• What can I add to my life that would contribute to my life and living right away?
• What can I do, have, be, and receive that would generate possibilities for me rather than problems?
• What possibilities am I capable of creating beyond my perceived problems right now?

And allow yourself the freedom to explore all of those. Allow yourself to break away from the pack and from the standard of living that requires problems and misery as a way of life!

It’s time to allow yourself to be happy!
