The worth of identifying a problem...
...even if you don't have the solution...
...is a LOT.
Yes, even without a solution.
Knowing is a big improvement over not knowing.
Knowing there is a problem ≠ knowing what is the problem.
(I mean, English is sometimes a runaround, but stay with me.)
In other words –
A general dis-ease and confusion = knowing there is a problem.
But that's still a state of confusion. A fog.
Whereas knowing what is the problem = the clarity of understanding where/how/when/etc to look for support and solutions.
Not spinning your wheels on nonsense. Not wasting your time on well-marketed but actually useless fixes. Not blaming yourself for some personal flaw that you're sure is the cause.
This is where I am as of last week. I'd been spinning my wheels and leaking my own energy everywhere for a long damn time. But now I'm super clear as to the problem I've been having.
I'm nowhere near a solution, but this moment is still WOW.
I've shed all the anxiety and confusion. The clarity has lightened my energetic load. Now that I'm not longer paranoid about some nonexistent personal flaw, I'm confident of knowing how to look for support.
I have a lot more space to figure out what's next.
This is one reason why intuitive work is so helpful. A lot of people come to me with a vague sense of something not working. Something uncomfortable, something off.
(And I'm not so unethical that I promise a solution in a single session. Hire an influencer, join their Divine Goddess Empath Ninja(tm) masterclass for that kind of space.)
With me, in a single session we can MOVE a LOT of energy. Identifying the problem sounds minor, but it's the difference between flailing and spinning vs seeking and solving.
So, I encourage you to see how identification might help you with something difficult in your life right now. If you need support, you know how to reach me.
In the meantime, I'm excited to have even more spaciousness for an event this weekend! Local folks, you can find me on Saturday at the Georgia Indie Book Faire. It's FREE, with a huge lineup of authors, and some excellent panels on writing. I'll be there, with copies of Still Moving.
And because I like to make things as special as possible, I'll be slingin' cards too. If you get a book, you can also go home with a nifty bookmark:
deck: Antique Anatomy Tarot
In clarity,
S.
