Hereโs another failure. Hereโs another issue. Hereโs another weakness.</em></li> <li><strong>Problem Solving </strong>โ you see a unique opportunity to solve the problem. <ol> <li><em>Problem spotting says, โI donโt have the resources.โ Problem-solving says, โWhat I do not have, I will create.โ</em></li> <li><em>Problem spotting says, โI really suck at this.โ Problem-solving says, โIโll try again and if still doesnโt work, then Iโll try a different approach.โ</em></li> <li><em>Problem spotting says, โI have no experience because Iโve never done this before.โ Problem-solving says, โHereโs an opportunity to learn something new!โ</em></li> <li><em>Personal problem spotting story: Denied access to campus and not teaching this semester!!!</em></li> </ol> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>Instead of problem-spotting, letโs change that negative self-talk into problem-solving opportunities. Here are a few affirmations that Iโve personally been practicing.
