“The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the level of thinking that created them.”– Albert Einstein.

The most successful people know that sometimes the most difficult situations and the biggest challenges can only be overcome with a new perspective. Understanding the power of generating a new perspective can help you overcome any circumstance, condition, or situation you may face!

But how? Like Einstein, understand that everything within the Universe is made of energy.

Your thoughts are also made up of energy, and each thought you generate has an energetic frequency. Think of your thoughts like stones thrown into a pond. Whenever a thought is generated and tossed into the pond, it creates a ripple effect across the water's surface.

The more time you spend ruminating on, thinking about, and obsessing over a problem, the more stones (thoughts) you generate. The more energy and attention you put into them, the larger they get. The larger they get, the more significant the ripple effect. And, the bigger the ripple effect, the longer that stone impacts the reality of the pond.   

Like the stones thrown into the pond, when you find yourself faced with a challenging situation, examining, overthinking, and obsessing over the problem generates thoughts, actions, and results at the same frequency as the problem. As long as you continue to generate thought at the same frequency as the problem, it will be more challenging to create solutions, commit to a plan of action, and ultimately surpass the challenge.

You’ll know your problem requires a different perspective, and you might be stuck in a problem-generating

frequency when:

• You have a tough time thinking of possible solutions to the problem
• You’re stuck on one solution as the best way to move forward without the ability to be flexible or creative
• The problem is the only thing you’re able to think about (or all the things that could go wrong because of the problem)
• Hyper-focusing on the problem prevents you from seeing the bigger picture or considering other perspectives
• Objectively minor complications and potential obstacles feel like big challenges keeping you stuck

To face obstacles and overcome challenges with ease requires the right mindset- as Einstein says, you can’t think your way out of the problem using the same frequency that created the problem in the first place!

You can’t keep throwing the same rocks into the pond and expecting different ripples.

Overcoming challenges and solving problems

requires a new way of thinking.

When an easy solution to life’s challenges is not apparent, it’s a sign to change the frequency of your thinking. Challenging yourself to change how you view, think, and feel about your problem opens the door to new, more empowering solutions to reach your desired result. Not to mention, the different ways you approach one tough situation can be applied to similar challenges in the future!

Problem-solving at an elevated frequency

To begin to access an elevated frequency than the one that contributed to the problem you want to solve, it’s critical, to begin with, the ultimate goal. What would you love to create outside of the limitations of the problem at hand?

In the example above, a great way to start would be to ask yourself: How would I love to feel in my relationship with my significant other? What kind of relationship are we committed to having?

A possible answer to this question might be: “I want a relationship that values kindness, gratitude, and open communication.”

The next step is to ask yourself: “What can I do right now to move closer to that result?”

For example, instead of ruminating on the hurt that may be lingering from the argument:

• Consider what you could be grateful for about your significant other at this moment.
• Challenge yourself to find a different way to view a conflict that is rooted in the value of kindness.
• Think of small steps to create space for clear and open communication about the argument.

As you begin to consider new perspectives and pathways that directly support your end goal- that lend themselves to the type of relationship you would love- you’ll be inspired to take action that aligns with your desired result. You’ll make space for your partner to feel safe enough to do the same. Changing your thoughts, shifting your frequency, and being willing to look at your problems differently can change your reality!

Three steps to problem-solving: How to think bigger than any challenge you may face

1. Align with the Universe- When you realize you’ve been investing your time and energy into thinking about a problem, remind yourself that you are more than your problems and have access to resources to overcome any challenge. Stop and say to that problem: “There’s an energy and power in this Universe that is far bigger than you, and it’s on my side!”

2. Change your thoughts- Next, focus on the result you would love to experience in this situation. Imagine how it would look and feel to achieve that result. Close your eyes and visualize this version of reality if you can! The most important thing is gaining as much clarity as possible about your desired, best-case-scenario outcome.

3. Open yourself to what you can do- As you begin investing the power of your attention in the direction of your desired outcome, the third and final step is to ask yourself: “What can I do right now to move closer to that result?” Then, choose from the solutions your mind begins to generate, and take action, no matter how small. Your action will amplify the energy of your focus, generating even more solutions and changing your results!

An important question for you…

What’s a circumstance, situation, or condition that’s present in your life right now that you’re finding challenging?

What result would you love to create in this area, and what simple action can you take to move closer to that result?

I’ll also share The 4 Essential Strategies for Shifting Your Perception After an Unexpected Limb Loss. These four tools will help shift your perception so you can change your thinking. Most of us have limiting perceptions about ourselves that create doubt about the possibilities available to all of us. Our thinking is the only place we limit them, which creates our beliefs and perceptions. Once we change our thinking, we have the power to create whatever we would love.

You will learn the following: -To be conscious of our thoughts. Break the thinking patterns that don’t serve you in any way.

-Start paying attention to our thoughts, words, stories, and feelings. In other words, we learned how to notice what we’re noticing. For instance, we can notice when we think or speak our old limiting stories. We learned these “same old stories” are a pattern or a paradigm; when they arise, we can change our thinking to align with our vision. Instead of the “same old story,” we now share a new, more empowering story. 

-Change the channel so that our thoughts affect our feelings, which creates a feeling tone, otherwise known as frequency. Everything is energy; that abundance, for example, is not on the lack channel.

-Respond instead of reacting. We learned that we have both the capacity and ability to respond and not react.
