I was playing a word game much like lingo, where you are given the first letter of a 5 letter word and you have 5 chances to come up with the correct answer.
It so happens that I was given the letter A and my first thought was “I got this. The word is apple” well of course you know I got that wrong , so then I thought, “There can’t be that many 5 letter a words”.
After 2 more wrong answers, I decided to just stop clear my brain and think about it. A flood of 5 letter “A” words came to me and trough the method of deduction I came up with the right one with one more chance to go.
I know by now you are wondering “Why on earth is she telling us about a word game?”
Here is the deal. Many of us work hard to reach a goal, whether it is a planned goal or a subconscious one, Sometimes we can’t seem to find the right path to reach our destination.
My suggestion:
Stop, breathe and clear your mind. Sometimes taking a small break, taking a step back, just a breather can give you the opportunity to take a fresh perspective on things. Sometimes those same things get you re-energized and some times they allow you to see if you are going about things the wrong way.
There are so many possibilities that can stem from simply taking a little time away from your current situation (not a full out vacation).
Step Back. Breathe. Go again.
