When a problem arises most of us think about some short term solutions. And then we make it common to find ourselves back again with a similar problem. Because we missed the 'why' part and proceed forward. It's like not solving the major issue of a car rather changing the wheel and get a ride on it.
Well, identifying the root causes during a situation is not that hard. We just need little intentional efforts. But make sure you don't leave it there. Find it and solve it first.
Try to find our emotional status during the occasion. It helps us to understand what we have done wrong and how to proceed forward in the right way.
Find out why you took the wrong decision, why you felt that way, who influenced you and why. Ask yourself, question yourself about your feeling.
There are some common triggers that make us fail and take the wrong decision. It can be our stress, frustration, relationship issues or not noticing our surroundings well.
Take some time off and find our your triggers. And make sure you don't do the same in the future.
For example, if you are gaining weight, before focusing on a healthy diet plan take a look at your actual diet to know what you are doing wrong. Remember, the more time we spend finding the root cause the better it for us in the long term. Maybe sometimes the situation demands to come up with some instant solutions. But don't leave it there. Settle down, take your time and find out the root cause.
