Hello from beautiful Montana:
We have talked a lot about how our three main worries are Money, Health & Relationships. When we are having problems in these areas, it may seem to us that they are unsolvable. We run the same words and concerns around and around in our heads, hoping that something will just appear to solve the problem. Or even worse, we deny that there is a situation and just stuff the envelope from the bank, the bump on the breast or the distant spouse in a far compartment and refuse to deal with it.
Problems Can Appear Unsolvable
This downturn in economy and recession has many people blindsided by job and home loss. They thought they had prepared and were making wise financial decisions when circumstances outside their control changed their lives.
Or they knew they had made some risky decisions and now are caught in a trap where they cannot find a way out. It is a familiar story at Credit Counseling when someone does not ask for help until the foreclose notice appears in the paper. Embarrassed and ashamed, they did not know what to do.
Ask for Help and Keep Asking for Help
When a first payment is missed, all kinds of things can be done if you ask for help. There are real people on the other end of the phone and if they won't or can't help you, then ask for someone who can.
There is someone out there in the universe who can and will help you to solve your own problems. Notice, I did not say "Make my problem go away." They can give you the tools or techniques to solve your own problems, once you gain a new perspective.
Do Not Isolate Yourself or Face Problems Alone
When we assume there is no help, problems fester. In real life and also in our minds. By sharing and asking for feedback and assistance, we can gain insights and find solutions.
It is our responsibility to find solutions and we can weigh all the available options when we have asked for help from others who are willing to help us.
