#7: Tap Into the Process Driving Your Problem

Understanding your problems is important, however, it’s not enough. In fact, it can take you off track without you knowing since it's difficult to verify whether your ideas about yourself are right or wrong. It can also promote the false notion that merely understanding your issue will solve it. Sometimes it does but oftentimes it doesn’t. Instead of just trying to think your way through your problems, it’s essential to learn how to tap into the deeper process that’s driving them. Then, answers, solutions, and directions happen organically rather than you trying to superimpose ideas and interpretations onto yourself. In today's episode, I lead you through a simple exercise that shows you how to direct your awareness to your sensory channels—visual, auditory, proprioceptive, and kinesthetic—and observe what you experience. Learning how to do this gives you the basic tool for processing your problems. It enables you to go beyond theorizing about and interpreting your issues so you can connect with an authentic experiential process of change. This not only heals your problems but leads to happiness, wellbeing, and success, as well.
