What is the 101010 method for dealing with everyday worries?

Thanks for asking. We all have to deal with tricky dilemmas and situations from time to time, the kind which we just can't seem to get out of our head, that keep us up at night.

It might be a fight with a friend, a work-related conflict, or an urge to upsticks and move away, for example.

Saying things up endlessly can lead to a vicious circle of anxiety, which pollutes the mind.

Well, there's no magic solution for getting those things out of your head, unfortunately.

But there is a method for thinking about them differently to reduce feelings of angst and discontent.

It's the 101010 method.

It sounds like a breathing method.

It might sound like one, but actually it's a decision-making technique, thought up by American author Susie Welsh.

She released a book on it in 2009, which went on to become a New York Times Best Seller.

It involves asking yourself three questions when faced with a seemingly unsolvable problem.

Firstly, what were the consequences of my decision being 10 minutes?

Secondly, what were they being 10 months?

And finally, what were they being 10 years?

Writing for Oprah.com Well, she explained how she first used it on a typical workday to decide that she should agree to her boss's last minute request for her to do overtime.

Despite having promised her kids, she would be home for dinner.

On another occasion, she refused to run a Saturday meeting for company executives, because it would clash with the date her son was due to get his junior black belt in karate.

Later, she even ended up using it before getting divorced.

But the 2014 Nordic Business Forum Susie Welsh told audience members what a deep impact 10-10-10 had had on her life.

We actually can control so many more decisions than we give our credit for.

It actually begins with this shift in mindset.

We own our decisions. Great.

How do I get started then?

You can use the technique in a number of different ways.

It might help you calm down when feeling stressed and overwhelmed, for example.

Go through the exercise in your head and think about what the impact of a problem may be in the future.

We often overplay the importance of certain choices and situations, when in reality it won't be the end of the world either way.

Bear in mind you don't have to follow the 10 minutes, 10 months, 10 years part to the letter.

You can adjust the timeframes to match your situation.

The idea is basically to consider how a decision or problem affects us right away in the not too distant future and much further down the line.

Lastly, take all that information you've noted down and see how it aligns with your most important values, beliefs and goals.

Remember that you've been through challenging situations in your life in the past and that you're now able to look back on them in serenity.

No doubt they also helped you learn some valuable life lessons which have since come in useful.

There you have it. Now you know what the 10-10-10 method is.
