Solution 1: Solving the problem

One solution to any problem is to actually solve it. However, many of us struggle with problem-solving because our behavior is often influenced by our emotions. We prioritize doing what we want instead of what is effective and will truly solve the problem. For example, if your goal is to find a healthy stable relationship but you're engaging in casual flings with someone who isn't interested in commitment, you may need to be comfortable with being single for a while and remove yourself from emotionally confusing situations. It's important to clearly define the problem and assess whether your actions align with your goals and values.
