138. The Easiest and Most Effective Way to Solve Any Problem

There you are in the problem. “I can’t pay these bills.” “My partner’s driving me crazy.” “I think my boss hates me.” “I need to lose weight.” “I’m lonely.” Because this is a big issue in your life, you think about it often. You speak to anyone who’ll listen. It keeps you up at night as you search for answers. You believe that the way to solve your issue is to fixate on it but that never gives you long-term results and you end up complaining about the same issues over and over!  Today I’m going to teach you how you’re hijacking your own brain and the truly quick and effective way to not only solve your problems but how to actually feel happier every day.
