Direct Solutions

In our Inner Peace Program, we’ve been learning how fear and discomfort can rule life. Fear drives us all, which then often becomes a challenge and creates a hindrance to our progress. Therefore, we’ll now look at the fastest way to solve challenges with direct solutions. Direct solutions are quick and straightforward but rarely easy. Direct solutions require the ability to deal with discomfort at a high level.

Challenges

When you’re trying to find a solution to any challenge in your life, you may feel uncomfortable considering the direct approach. These solutions often require more self-discipline, courage, and stamina than we’re used to demonstrating. 

However, most of us also know at our core that if we could just get ourselves to follow through on a direct course of action, we would resolve our challenge.

Consider these scenarios:

  • If you want to lose weight, one possible direct solution would be to limit yourself to 2,000 calories a day and exercise for 60 minutes each day. There is no doubt that anyone who adheres to this program would lose a significant amount of weight. But how many people can actually get themselves to stick to it for 12 weeks?
  • Suppose you wanted to date a beautiful woman. One possible direct solution is to go where there are likely to be a large number of women. Then you could simply continue asking out beautiful women until one said yes. This solution is simple. However, actually doing it could require a significant amount of courage.

Simplest and Fastest

If you consider them closely, many of life’s most significant dilemmas have relatively simple solutions. The only real challenge is figuring out how to become the type of person who can implement a direct approach. Most of us spend a lot of time coming up with ways to work around our lack of discipline or courage.

This is why developing your self-discipline, as well as your ability to work through fear and overcome obstacles, are perhaps the most important areas of self-improvement. 

When you work on these attributes, your ability to implement direct solutions improves as well. You no longer have to take the long way around.

Why Direct Solutions are Challenging

While direct solutions seem reassuring because they’ll obviously work, they’re also disturbing. There’s an obvious solution just staring you in the face, but taking action seems so challenging. So why do these approaches seem so daunting?

For your answer, try considering a direct solution to one of your challenges. Ask yourself, “Am I really willing to follow through on that? Am I willing to transform myself into the type of person that could take these actions consistently?”

What if the answer is “no”? Clearly, you were probably hoping for a “yes.” But at least you now have your answer: if an obvious solution exists, but you won’t take it, you are the source of your own challenge.

Admitting this may not be easy. You may become aware that you’re choosing to be timid or undisciplined. However, the discomfort caused by this realization can be enough to generate some of the personal changes you’ve been seeking and propel you toward the happier life that you deserve.

Tips to Practice Using Direct Solutions

As with anything, practice makes perfect – or at least it makes it easier to accomplish what you desire!

Try these tips to help you acquire the propensity to use direct solutions:

  1. Practice daily. As you go throughout your day, find tasks that you could do better or quicker with direct action. Then do it!
  2. Dare yourself. Come up with tasks that would be only a small challenge to you and dare yourself to do them. Make it something that would yield a positive benefit for you if you were to do it. This increases both your motivation and your skill at going direct.
  3. Move on to more complex challenges. Break down your challenge into more manageable tasks, which, when completed, will result in resolving the challenge. Now, you’re resolving your challenges. As you get more practice, move to more direct solutions.

Final Thoughts

As you learn to evaluate direct solutions to your challenges honestly, you’ll discover that they provide multiple avenues for growthNot only do they often offer the quickest way to achieve your goals if you have the fortitude to pursue them, but they also give you opportunities to examine yourself. And what’s not to like about that?

Here’s what you can do today for immediate implementation. There are two parts:

  1. Continue building your ability to be uncomfortable. Expand your efforts from the previous weeks.
  2. Join our DEW Tribe to access extended activities in Week 17’s Guide: Resolving Challenges.

Direct solutions are effective. They are even more effective when your creative abilities are at their best.
