Problems, problems!
House problems, work problems, love problems...
Have you ever had so many problems that you want to escape it all in an instance?
Reality is real, we can't all end of 1our miseries in a day, in an hour , in a minute or in seconds. We have to face it all!
Argh! If there is just one way to have all the problems gone, I would do it! Can Someone take me to nowhere land? where there's no problems that we have to face in everyday life?

the only place that peaceful are the purity of the heart problems are nothing everyday of our lives it is there. the only solution for that is live your life to the fullest and use most of it and share and make friends read the bible to find peace.

Basqui-
All of us at some point or another in our journey have experienced this very same anxiety about our life. Some days it seems as if the world has opened up a torrent only over our own heads, and it can be as you say overwhelming. I find that during these times I must truly force myself to meditate and break that anxiety cycle.
Sitting under a tree is actually one of the quickest ways to connect with the earth, and find that stability. As you lean against the tree feel the strength of that tree, for its roots are deep and they have weathered many a storm. Allow that tree to share with you its inner strength and take from you that feeling of anxiety so you can see clearly. During your meditation picture yourself near a river. See each of your anxieties and worries about the problems you are facing as flowers from the tree you are sitting under. Watch each one fall into the river and be carried away. (You are not getting rid of the problems, but the anxiety that accompanied them).
When you are calm, you will find that though there are very real problems and issues to work with in life, that you will find a plan on how to tackle each and every one of them (or at least most of them).
Namaste-Anora

Hi Anora Eldorath Thanks for sharing with us this exercise. I think it's beautiful and this would calms me in a case like this. I suffer of anxiety episodes very often so I have to deal with this. Sometimes I would like to end with my problems. In my case I listen to music or sleep and in my mind, I try to put all my ideas in order. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day.

Actually I'm feeling the same thing now.
I've been so fed up with so many things to think about and now comes the problem. If given a chance to just leave all the things here and go somewhere very far so I could think, I would but in reality it's hard to do because of so many obligations and priorities. I was thinking that I must not be self-centered because my own purpose is for my family and not for myself. Mid this year up until now I'm still experiencing those problems, and to be honest I really don't know where to start and what to do..
But the advice I could give is to relax and try to think positively. Take all the happenings in a good way so that you won't have to think a lot and feel down and sad.

Hi maucute: I had the sensation sometimes, that all problems come to us at the same time. At some moments of our life we experimented a bad news after another one and this could make us feel desperate. In these case it's better to calm down and try to find an answer, some hope instead of just thinking about the negative things in your life. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day.

Sometimes, I'm also thinking...that I want to be somewhere else (a form of escape) when problems strike me or I no longer can endure all the responsibilities. When all I want sometimes to be gone...but someone's snap me back to reality *God*, He reminded me that in this world we will all have tribulation, but He promised that He already overcame the world, so we should not worry anymore for God said that we are more than conquerors. I turned to God in prayer to lift all my burdens to Him...For I know He will give me rest. In Him, we can not only find escape and comfort but rest of our body, mind, soul and spirit. Problems only cause us either to draw closer to God or draw away from Him. It's your choice. So make the right decision. God loves you.

Hi bec dmd: I honestly love your answer and I think that the closer we are with God, the strongest our spiritual connection is, the easiest we find the strenght to face our daily problems. God love us and if we ask him and we talk to Him. We could find peace. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day.

Hi sagar: I agree with you. Life is too short and unfortunetly we have this bad habitude of complaining for the problems we have to face day by day. Sometimes, I think we overrate our problems. I am not saying that we have to forget completely about them but at the same time people should understand the value of their lives. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day.

Hi wood man: I think that we could find a solution to our problems in ourselves too. We have the strenght, we have the power to find a solution to them and there's nothing good on escaping from our problems. We have to face it, sometimes we have to ask for help to someone we can trust but escaping it's not an option. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day.

A few months ago, I was in a similar situation. I already planned my "way out". I even had my beneficiaries in order, the time line, everything. But as the days passed, I was able to make not even baby steps, but crawled slowly until I could stand on my own again. A friend told me that its okay to be depressed, to wallow in the rut of despair. But you have to have a deadline as to up to when you will allow yourself to wallow in despair. You have to do that for yourself, not for anyone else because only you can control your happiness.

that is the wonderful cause, .. having problems.. ... that is one reason why you should be living in this virtual world.. MYLOT.
WHY else do you think, this social networking sites, like mylot, facebook, twitter, blogging, etc.. have sprung up, and are making a million per day? ..
it is because, all seem to be running away from their reality, and living in an artificial world.
I dont think, people use fake names and fake identities, .. just for the reasons of security. they do that, to pretend happiness.
----------------
you seem to be intelligent, to live in the reality, .. and, face the troubles.. to learn how to overcome.
people are different! . ... cheers.

you are most welcome .. friend basqui....
hope to work out some more tricks.. other than just ranting on the social sites.
I don't mind a BR .. bragging rights for this. BUT, i do have an idea about making the day .. for someone here in mylot. GIVE him/her a plus.. (with due respect to the guidelines) .. and, increase his/her motivation levels.

Problems are part of life, and life is a reality, while solutions will be our reflection of whatever we've done so far.. haha =D
IF one does not want to have so much of problems, it's easy.. Dun have any expectations in life, and just take it as it comes.. haha =D Without hopes, there wont be disappointment.. With no disappointment, there wont be problems.. haha =D
Somethings can be within our control, nad it's entirely up to us.. hehe

Hi basqui - a few years ago, when I achieved something that I wanted to do and had no further goals in my life, I faced what can be best described as ennui - suddenly you dont have reason to live!!! There are no targets, no objectives, just nothing!!! That level of indifference towards life is scary, believe me. Our problems and solutions keep us away from that. So I came up with new plans, new objectives, and I am trying to achieve them one by one. Of course, all this is silly as far as I am concerned, because I already know what that stage is in life and ultimately I will again be there. Virtual world is, as Consultrainer mentioned, a way to express what you feel about it all and feel relieved. Something that was formerly done in front of a psychiatrist. And you also get people offering solutions, and advise!!! Free of cost! Dont aspire to go where there are no problems - as yet - believe me, happiness also does not exist there!

Hi basqui, I know where you're coming from. I had the same experience , I mean I even asked myself if I could just die one day and then be alive again the next day just to have a break from all these problems.. Well, that's what adult life is, we have all these responsibilities that we have to take care of and we can't escape unless you have decided to ruin your life. All I can say is, there will always be that phase of life or time that you feel like you would like to give up. But just stay there, for sure people who are hardworking as you are will get rewards in the end, I dont know when but I know there should be...

Hi cloud: I have the same kind of faith. I beleive that even if sometimes we have to face really big problems, we can do it. When we feel stressed or tired we don't understand this very easy but if we face our problems we will earn experience and in the future we would understand that it was good that the things happend like that. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day.

problems is part of life..no one is exempted to it but take it easy, take it piece by piece and calm down so you can think well on what to do..Cyber world doesn't have problems where you can spend anytime you like to be free from these things that bothers you for a while..once you're off..then back to life!!

I know exactly what you mean, but there is no reason why you shouldn't want to go on living nothing compares to all the beauty of life. I always try and remember the good that has happend sometimes it takes just a small little light to brighten that dark place. Surrounding yourself with postive will attract positiveness and joy.

Problems... You don't end it all. But you will need face them all. A problem solved would only create a new problem and then another and another. It's an endless loop. Until we're content.
In my own opinion, it's not a matter of taking away all of these problems, rather, dealing with them the best that we can. As humanly as possible. After all, what's life without a problem? It's nothing.
Does this solve your problems? Definitely, not. But does this shed a little light? I definitely hope so.

The internet has evolved from just an information gateway to an outlet of our frustrations. Like you, and many others, I also use the cyberspace to momentarily forget my problems. but most of the time, I use it to find advice and solutions to some of my problems.
You might be surprised to find the solution to your problem is much easier than you would have thought.
Good luck to you! And God Bless us all!

Hi,
I just want you to hangin there. Life isn't alway fair or so it would seem. I am at a similar crossroad after getting some not so good news about my job. I just wanted to throw in the towel, but that was yesterday. Today, my problems are still here, but I refuge to give up, pull down shade, and say "good night Irene."
My main goal is to channel my negative thoughts and think about how I got to where I am and what steps,even if they are slow,I need to taketo get out of the mess. One step one day at a time. Asking for help from the right professional sources, is what I am planning to do.
Problems are here to stay. They were here from the beginning of time and will be here long after we are gone. If we challenge ourselve to overcome them and not let them overcome us we will be alittle less stressed out with the thought of ending it all.
Good Luck

Hi basqui,
Even though I have the same problem from yesterday,I will have a great day. My day started off with thanking God, on my knees, for another day,putting clothes into the dryer, making coffee, taking a shower and brushing my teeth, reading a few chapter from the book of Matthew in the bible and now I am writing on Mylot. I will get off and make a few business transactions and who know what else the day will bring, but I confident it will not get me down.
"Good Night Irene" is slang for ending a life,which I never would consider.

Hi
There are no problems in life. There are only challenges. and many of them are created by ourselves by way of our behavior or unrealistic expectations. We have to face them with brevity, cool of mind and positive attitude.
At times when challenges are many, we feel life is going out of control, but if we handle challenges one by one with positive frame of mins, we can bring back life on its normal route.

In world is hard situation with job field. Home problems have everyone I too have them we need to think how to pay bills how to buy things. We can not end our problems in one moment.

hi there basqui.. we do have a lot of problems in life. But ending your life or raunning from the problems is not the best solution after all. God gave us some challenges in life in order for us to be strong and God did not give us those for us to give up, because he knows that we ca handle it. Though sometimes we feel that everything goes wrong and blaming ourselves, dont let weakness prevail on you. I myself admits that i also feel the same way with you, sometimes if i got so exhausted and my problems wont be solved im also thinking of ending my live but as i think, i said to myself that i cant give up right now because i have my family, the depends on me and if im gone whta will happend to them , thinks like that sometimes came to our minds.. Lets just be strong and have strong will to face tha problems in life..remember, EVERYTHING HAPPENDS FOR A REASON..

Yep, maybe problems are there that will strengthen us. I'm just thankful that I'm still alive in spite of those problems. I'm not stupid to end my precious life, I don't want that to happen. There is so many things that I want to do with my life. I want to lengthen it instead.
