Hello to you listening in Union County, Ohio!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

Oftentimes we’re stuck solving a problem because we just don’t know where to begin. I have an idea. 4 problem-solving words: Result + Reach + Resistance + Resources.

Result:  Start at the end of the story. What result do you want to get by solving this problem? What’s the goal here?

Reach:   What are you reaching for that solving this problem will get you? What’s beyond the problem?

Resistance:  How are you standing in your own way? What is holding you back from solving the problem?  

Resources:  Start by being your own best resource. Then ask who and what other resources you can draw on to help you solve the problem.    

Practical Tip:  When you start doubting yourself, remember how far you’ve come. Remember everything you have faced, all the battles you have won, and all the fears you have overcome. Now, put those 4 problem-solving words to use and solve what’s in front of you.    

You’re always invited: “Come for the stories – stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, would you subscribe, share a 5-star rating + nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!

Remember the first time you rode a bike and took your hands off the handlebars? And then because it felt fun and scary you did it again until you were streaking down a hill with the wind blowing in your face and your hands up over your head screaming, “Look ma! No hands!” That’s been the story of Diane's life. Showing up - maybe scared but not afraid - because when you fall down 7 you get up 8.
