What do I do when I get stuck?

You may be stuck on a certain challenge. But no matter the size or complexity of this challenge. You can overcome it by applying this simple and easy technique.

Step 1.
Step away from the challenge.

Step 2.
Close your eyes.

Step 3.
While keeping your eyes closed. Take 3 deep breaths.

Step 4.
In your imagination. See yourself already having solved the challenge.

Step 5.
Let yourself feel the emotion of having solved that challenge.

Step 6.
Enjoy that feeling.
And then you're done!

Go back and attempt the challenge with this new feeling that you just experienced. You will be surprised at how quickly the answer comes to you. You are smarter and more capable than you think.

Please share your experience in the comments to encourage others.

Happy coding!!
