Summarize the following:
When a problem pops up, it's pretty normal to find yourself thinking something like, "What? This cannot be happening!" It's a common reaction, but not always a useful one. Shift your thinking right away and accept that the problem is indeed happening. Think to yourself, "This is not a good situation, but it's happening." Putting off dealing with the problem or just pretending the negativity doesn't exist can be tempting. However, it's usually best to face the problem head-on. It can be easy to look only at the negatives. Take a minute to think calmly about the situation, and then make a list of the positives. The list can be mental or you can jot your thoughts down. This will help you to remain calm and productive. For example, you might be upset that one of your employees complained about your management style. Instead of getting angry, think of this as an opportunity to communicate with that person and figure out how you can both have a more positive experience at work. Maybe you discover that your sister is moving to a new city and you are upset because you'll miss her. Instead of focusing on the negative emotions, think about the fact that now you'll have a fun reason to travel to her new city. If you find that negative thoughts are still popping up, acknowledge them, and then reject them. You can think something like, "Yes, this is a big problem. But I reject this negativity and choose to focus on the positives." You might have to repeat this a few times, but if you actively choose to release the thoughts, they'll eventually go away. You can also respond directly to specific thoughts. For example, if you think, "It's all my fault that sales are down this quarter. What a disaster," try saying to yourself, "I'm new at my job and there is a learning curve. This is a great opportunity for me to try out some of those new ideas that I have." While negative situations aren't fun, they usually offer a great opportunity to learn something. Take a step back and look objectively at what's going on. Ask yourself if it's possible to learn how to avoid such problems or if you can find a way to learn how to deal with them gracefully. Ask yourself, "Once I'm through this, what will I have learned?" Make a list of possible lessons, if writing things out helps you think. Maybe your significant other just broke up with you and you feel really hurt. The lesson might be that you realize you rushed into living together and that it might be best to go more slowly the next time. Or it might be that your boss reprimanded you for not meeting your sales goals. You could look at this as an opportunity to learn some new tactics that can help you succeed. It can definitely feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders when you're dealing with a negative situation. However, when you are upset it can also be easy to forget that a problem might not be as major as it first seems. Choose a response that actually fits the situation. For example, if your boss tells you that you need to improve your sales, don't let your thoughts spiral into, "I'm getting fired. What will I tell my partner? How will I pay my bills? Where will I find another job?" Instead, focus on the actual problem at hand, which is improving your sales.

summary: Choose to accept the situation. Find the positives instead of focusing solely on the negatives. Challenge negative thoughts and release them. Look for the lesson in the situation. Put the problem in perspective.
