A mental trick for dealing with problems.
I've noticed over the years that it's easy to hear about someone else's problems and to offer a solution. It only becomes difficult when the problem at hand is yours and not someone else's. An interesting drill to help deal with problem situations is to mentally step outside the situation. Try to think of the problem as being someone else's instead of yours. The trick here is to not worry or even think about the consequences. Instead, deal with the problem at hand and only that.
