This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to running from your problems! This is a powerful message, as many people believe that if they ignore a problem, it’ll go away. I work with clients who oftentimes feel that leaving a bad situation is better than facing it and dealing with it. Maybe your work environment is stressful and you feel like you’re being treated poorly. Or perhaps it’s your marriage or family life that has unsurmountable problems. The “fight or flight” urge is a strong hormonal reaction
to stress and anxiety. There are times where fighting or staying is the best approach to a struggle. Now, I’m not advocating fist fights; no! What I do advocate is to learn how to communicate your needs; gain coping and negotiation skills to encourage resolutions to problems; face your problems and stop running away from them! Remember the quote, “Wherever you go, there you are”. Your problems follow you, so move yourself into a season of positive growth by just saying no to running from your problems!

This has been Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day… Now, go out and be fruitful!
