6 facts YOU MUST know when dealing with ANY problem is a post from: Joy Wizard Blog

]]> Earlier this year I was running a bit behind and did not attempt to write a post until late. I then discovered that I could not log in to post and also that the site (blog) itself was also down. My other blogs were fine.

Clearly this was a concern, however I did not stress over it (what does stressing achieve anyway) and simply phoned my web host (GoDaddy) after running some of my own tests/troubleshooting.

The level 1 support was prompt and helpful, however they could not resolve the issue. The matter was passed upstream to a higher level of support. I was advised that I would have to WAIT. No problem, again I did not stress and got on with something else. When I checked the blog a few hours later, after watching a movie, all was back to normal.

In times past I would have stressed over the issue big time. Not these days. Stressing and worrying about something does no good; in fact it just harms you in various ways. I delegated the problem to my support network (for this issue: my web host).

Some other key aspects of this situation are that I have an excellent web host. They are there 24/7 for 365 days of the year; even with phone support. Waiting times are usually either non existent or low, and if I do have to wait, I am told how long it will be, which is always accurate. Another key point is that I have automatic blog database backups sent to me via email twice a day.

Some keys then are:

  • Don’t worry
  • Don’t stress
  • Ensure you set up good foundations. Spend the time (effort) and money to ensure you have high quality across your life. High quality does not always mean expensive. In fact, in the case of web hosts for example; here on the Gold Coast, in Queensland, we have a local ISP who has been established for many years. These people also offer web hosting; which is way more expensive than GoDaddy (where I host my sites) and yet the local Gold Coast web host support people are unavailable by phone from Friday evening until Monday morning. Yes, I know – it just sucks! And the support I experienced recently from the local web host when attending to one of my web development client’s needs (who had been hosting with the local ISP for years) was atrocious, coupled with a very long phone hold.
  • Let go – you have delegated the problem to someone. Let them fix it.
  • Understand that at times, even the best people can fail. I have no idea exactly what caused my blog to go down – perhaps it was some glitch with my web host; I really don’t know. There is no point in getting angry with the perceived offender. Clearly if the problem became rampant then it would be time to consider alternatives – what is the benefit of becoming angry?
  • Learn from your mistakes. My ‘kick up the bum’ was to restablish automatic website monitoring. Yes, I have been slack on the issue; second rate in fact, because I am well aware of website monitoring and first started using it in the 90′s. No excuses.

]]> When you feel the intensity of a situation and react with anger, you reach your breaking point. You break down, your energy is dissipated, and you become mentally and physically exhausted. You find it hard to think clearly, rationally and correctly. Staying upbeat and positive, despite problems, can be very difficult to do. You usually end up shifting your focus to the things that pull you down. In the end, you sulk and mope around, wishing that you were elsewhere. If everything you see on TV were real, you simply have to bring yourself to Shambhala, a place of sheer enjoyment and pure pleasure. But what good is this when you know you can’t find this place anywhere on the map? It’s not even in Tibet where the myth started in the first place.

But there is a Shambhala! In fact, it’s in every person at this very moment. Getting there, however, is another story altogether. A place of tranquility and peace is inside every person. The paradise mentioned above is a state of mind. If you can learn to better direct your thoughts, you can achieve an energetic state in virtually any situation or circumstances. I know because I was once a very angry and emotionally distorted person.

An energetic person is one who is always on the go. Despite any difficulties the person is facing, he or she is able to get back up and move on. As you go through a rainbow of experiences, some darker than others, you’ll find yourself stumbling along the way. But stumbling isn’t always a bad thing. In fact, this could be your chance to know more about life and understand the many ways things work. When I stumble in some area I always ask myself what I can learn from it and how I can turn the situation into a positive.

Yoga aficionados also believe in their form of exercise. Many swear by it and say that they are better able to take a step back from the issue and see the bigger picture. Unlike the common belief that exercise tires a person, facts show that it is, in fact, quite the opposite. It can be a way for you to release all your frustrations and have an outlet where you can channel all your anger. There’s a basic explanation behind the power of exercise. After a workout there will be an increase in your serotonin and endorphin levels. These are known as the ‘happy hormones’ in layman’s term. Aerobic activities balance your emotions, calm your nerves, and lower your blood pressure. Try it and feel your glow after every thorough workout.

Another strategy is to create, as part of your support system, a set of people who will love you and see you through every trial. They will help you stay hopeful and will be your pillar of strength when you are about to collapse. No structure can survive without the proper foundation. Clearly one needs the ability to function well if others are not around to provide support, however if they are available then make the best of it.

If your energy level reaches the breaking point and you feel just plain tired, it might be time to make some simple changes. No matter what your age, these easy but powerful tips for increasing your energy can really help. You just have to remember that you can always support yourself and adjust your life according to the demands on you. Coping with problems is a learned skill, but once you master this art, you’ll soon find that you are more than ready to meet challenges head on. Happiness is a state of being, and achieving it relies in the power of your mind. Let your brain be the battery of your life’s energy. Think smart!

PS: no one, and no situation ever makes you angry. YOU make yourself angry by YOUR thoughts. For more information on this aspect check out a blog article I wrote last year: Nobody made you angry (It shows a later date than this article because it was originally written for an old blog).
