Can anybody really spend a day without getting worried about some problem that arose suddenly? No one will give a positive answer. Problems, both major and minor surround us from everywhere cutting the retreat and putting against the wall of hopelessness. The only possible solution in that case is to find the solution and become free. Some of the problems need no identification to be solved; they have already become a part of the daily routine. But there is a category of problems that put us, humans, under constant pressure.

The first desire after having been trapped by a problem is to find the solutions. Vulnerable society has developed several methods to get out of such a situation. One of the oldest techniques is to divide the writing space into 'plus' and 'minus' columns in order to assess every point of the situation as negative or positive. The result will appear much unexpected. It never occurs so that a person finds the situation completely negative or 100% positive. There is always some positivism in any situation that seems hopeless. The main goal of the technique is to develop the overall attitude towards the problem and find the way to react to it. There is of course a more serious method that will take more time and effort. You may take two separate sheets of paper and title them as 'advantages' and 'disadvantages' and write everything down carefully thinking over, without omissions, additions, exaggerations. Make your list numbered and compare the points with each other. Define the priority for all of them.
The goal is to pick out a number of behavior modes and then develop a strategy that one should follow in a situation of such a difficulty. Treat the whole experiment as a nice joke that is supposed to make your life easier. If you feel uncomfortable behaving one way or another, this is not your style and you should change it. Try to imagine all the possible situations and your possible reactions to one or the other. Make sure you are not over reacting and you are absolutely objective towards yourself and the problem, otherwise this method will turn into a complete failure.

What happens if there is something you can not apply any of your favorite modes to? There is no need to be down and feel the pain of failure for the rest of your life. Be sure to alter and be flexible to the circumstances and you will act naturally and deserve respect you are worth.
