3. Use The Stepping-Stone Method

Freeze a moment in the problem and visualize the next step.

Example:

• If you’re facing a tough decision, list pros and cons to see your options clearly.
• If you're deciding whether to join a sports team, think about the end goal first: Do you want to be healthier or make new friends? From there, consider what steps you need to take, like trying out for the team or attending a few practices.
