✍️ Problem Solving With Beginner's Mind


Happy Monday Reader, here is your journal prompt for the week:

Where has my thinking been too narrow?

How can I expand how I am viewing this?

What alternate options are there?

Frequently when we try and problem solve, we don’t expand our thinking wide enough. We get stuck in what we are used to or can imagine. But often the answer sits in something we don’t even know or recognize. This week we are going to try to expand our mind to find solutions.

Start with creating a list of problems you can’t seem to get past. Then ask which one you have been to closed minded about. This might be tricky as our ego/limiting belief mind will tell us none! If this is the case, pick the problem that is causing the most issues. Using that one problem answer the rest of the questions.

I would encourage you to use the same problem each day and redo the two follow-up questions. This will allow your subconscious mind to jump in and help! Each day you may gain new insights that you didn’t think about the day before.

When we expand what we are viewing on a regular basis, new options can appear very quickly.

Have a great week,

Andrea

Hi Reader, This week has been fulll of ups and downs for me. The type where I have to stop and ask - this this really what I want? How do I feel about this? Not only because of the intensity that is in our world right now, but from the astrology happenings (which have been big) and all that added to just regular life. But, I am able to manage the ups and downs because I have spent over a decade working on emotional healing, spiritual growth and understanding myself. These have allowed me to...

It's the journey not the destination

Hi Reader, it's me showing up in your inbox on Thursday and not Sunday. Why? Because my spirit team and I wanted to adjust how we are sharing spiritual lessons with you. For a couple months now, something felt off. With the help of my team, I realized that while weekly energies are important to know, many of the lessons my team and I were sharing are helpful anytime. We all experience life differently and are at different phases of our life. So, a lesson for this week might be great for one...

Happy Monday Reader, Moving from thinking about change to taking action can feel overwhelming. Often, instead of making the changes we want, we stay stuck in contemplation. This week, we’re going to shift you from reflection into action. Start with this prompt: What changes have I been pondering that it is now time to make? Begin by creating a list of everything you’ve been thinking about changing—without judging or committing to anything yet. Include the big and small. Everything from...
