Probably the boldest title I could have come up with so I hope it is justified in it’s content, especially when it is the basis for my book (which should be out later this year).

Any comments/feedback would be grately appreciated.

What is SOLVE?

In a nutshell, it’s an acronym designed to help with problem solving. This is what each letter means….

STOP

Observe

List

Visualise

Execute

Where does SOLVE come from?

Back in December 2018 I was listening to one of Hal Elrod’s (author of the Miracle Morning) podcasts on gratitude. During his talk he said

There is no such thing as problems. They are situations which we label as problems, thus causing stress

As soon as he said it, I felt like I had a lightbulb moment! I had been causing majority of my own stress by labelling situations as problems. Simple solutions then – stop labelling. Hard to actually do though right?

As this concept was spinning round in my head as I was desperately trying to work out how to stop labelling, it dawned on me. I had to just stop. Stop worrying and reading into everything. Just pause. Take a breath.

As soon as I did this the rest of this model just fell into place and now this model is shaping my mindset on life. So much much so I feel more relaxed and able to balance my life I just had to share it with you!

As I said at the start I am writing a book, which will provide a more detailed insight into SOLVE, but I felt I had to share the acronym with you now as that alone has helped me so much!
