Expect More Problems to Find Better Solutions

2025 has started out with some turbulence.

Rocking a lot of us in unexpected ways (including myself) and shaking us out of our comfort zones whether that is in our line of work, within our families or what might feel like a constant personal attack with little to no recovery time.

This is the ongoing theme of this year - to shift us and to make us shed what no longer feels right for us so we can move forward and become a truer, more authentic version of ourselves.

So why are we coming up against these hurdles, obstacles and challenges?

Because we are being shown our core wounds in order to heal them and find our way back to the path that really is for our greatest self.

There is no avoiding it. If we are not practicing self awareness with acceptance and implementing the changes, we're going to continue the same cycle and be face with even greater adversity in the months and years ahead.

The fact is that 'problems' are part of life Anna.

How we interpret them is how we overcome them because 'problems' are always highlighting something we are being called to observe that could be a boundary, an expression of our needs or perhaps a part of our lives that just doesn't match up to who we are any longer.

Resolving requires us to navigate the process in a way we may not have considered before.

➡️ We can not approach our problems with the same energy that create them and expect a different solution ⬅️

The most effective way is to step back, take stock of the wider picture and understand what the core theme is.

Let's use an example-

Say you are constantly arguing with someone close to you in your life. You find it difficult to see their point of view, you clash on matters, butt heads and stay in a stubborn state every time you push up against them.

You've both carried on this way for a long time, it's become a familiar interaction you have accepted.

Yet recently the arguments are bigger, they feel more personal and you are struggling to compose yourself after the interactions. You are more impacted by what has been said, you're feeling them deeper.

The 'pain' of the disagreements is becoming bigger.

🚩 How do you solve this?

You zoom out and see what you are REALLY being pushed up against.

What is the core wound that being pressed upon each time?

·        You are not being heard or validated?

·        Your opinion does not matter?

·        No one listens to you?

·        You are unloveable?

The new solution- Rather than carrying on with the constant arguments, you choose to feel in to the pain behind them and you address THAT pain.

It isn't easy. It can be scary and unknown but when you do, you automatically create the space for you to receive more of what that pain was covering up.

More validation, more love, more possibilities.

🪶 It is a universal law that when you transform energy with intentional action, you will attract more of what you have transformed. (This also works in the opposite way for what you choose to ignore hence the example of arguments continuing and repeating)

One of the most gentle ways to explore transforming in this way is through sound.

Sound enables us to get past the noise of the monkey mind distraction and the tunnel vision of fear.

It allows us to truly see ourselves, to be held and to be open to support so we become unified instead of separated.

Through my sound experiences- in person Sound Journeys and recordings of my Sound Paths- we get to widen our lens of perception and see the truth in what is being presented to us so that we can address it at it's deepest level.

Seeing the problem from a different angle and choosing a different solution.
