Their faces literally light up. They sit back and breathe an audible sigh of relief as if to say, \u201cAhh, I don\u2019t have to work so hard now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an instant, everything changes. There\u2019s room for possibility, creativity, and openness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you look inside your problem for the answer? Do you get stuck in a pattern of overthinking?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If so, you know what you want, see yourself doing the opposite, and feel stuck in a holding pattern. It makes sense that you get stuck. When you focus on the problem, you get more problem. You just end up feeding your frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019re not alone. Very bright people are usually highly articulate \u2013 especially to themselves. They can easily begin to believe their own brilliance and gravitate back to repetitive thinking &#8211; even when it\u2019s clearly not working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group single-article__cta--section has-text-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"color:#2b2e34;background-color:#f5efea;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:30px\">\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#2b2e34\">Yes, I\u2019m ready<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-3e41869c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/contact\/i-help-you-grow-your-leadership\/\" style=\"border-radius:0px;color:#ffffff;background-color:#b65c45\">Let\u2019s get started!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what does help you get out of the holding pattern?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allow yourself to receive a radically different perspective. I use the word \u2018receive\u2019 deliberately. To \u2018receive\u2019 suggests an openness, a lack of judgment about what might be right or best. With receptivity, your new perspective will meet you half way. It will find you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you tell yourself to think more, work harder or be smarter, you inadvertently create a contraction &#8211; in your body as well as in your thinking. Check if this is true. Notice. What happens when you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/mind-body-integration\/\">overthinking a problem<\/a>? Do you sense the endless concentric circles, ever tighter? Is the solution to your problem any closer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now try the opposite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tell yourself that you can let go and relax with this process. Play with the idea that what you need is already here, waiting for you to create space for it. In this way, you can deliberately shift into a state conducive to flexible thinking. When you calm the angst around the \u2018problem\u2019, you can invite a state of being that is open, flexible, playful, and adaptive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So how do you find your new perspective?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First, create calm by cleaning up any emotional stories.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-coaching-Heart-Practice-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4489\" style=\"width:414px;height:276px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-coaching-Heart-Practice-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-coaching-Heart-Practice-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-coaching-Heart-Practice-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-coaching-Heart-Practice-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-coaching-Heart-Practice-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-coaching-Heart-Practice-1248x832.jpeg 1248w, https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-coaching-Heart-Practice-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/lyndahoffman.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lynda-Hoffman-Life-coaching-Heart-Practice-1320x880.jpeg 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cWhat am I believing that\u2019s upsetting me?
