One of the best strategies toward objectively fixing a problem is to use the Third-Person Solution. Take whatever dilemma you’re facing and project it onto someone else. Perhaps a friend or a family member. Now, look at the issue as if they’re coming to you with it. What would you tell them? What guidance would you give? If you can avoid making it about you, you can begin to see it as a more simplified and less muddied version of the problem, and then begin making clearer decisions.
