Often people ask me, "Why the heck did I attract this? What could I possibly learn from this experience?" To that, I always respond (generally with a giggle) "Oh so much!" And I am not just being optimistic. My mother will tell you, that is not a natural strength of mine. I ask this question too!

All of the positive information that comes out of my mouth is truly the guide's and Light Council's message that everything will be okay, you meant to do it that way.

Here are some tips to identify the root issues:

Look for patterns.

All things in your life are related. How else is this showing up? What other situations, that seem unrelated, do you feel similar about? Look at your relationships as well as your environments such as home and work.

Change your mantra.

What do you tell yourself about the issue? Some examples are "I always have to do it myself" or "I never have enough time". This is probably what needs to be healed. If you are saying the same thing over and over in your head, you are creating it. You might choose to stop creating if you knew you were doing it this way.

Look to childhood.

Does this look similar to something that happened to you as a child? Often times we bring things up from our past to be healed in our present. For example, maybe you were bullied in school and now you are feeling bullied at work. This may have nothing to do with right now. You may be experiencing a healing opportunity from the past.

Ask your friends.

Sometimes what is not obvious to us, is completely obvious to our friends - they are just too polite to say so. Be willing to ask your friends if they notice any patterns or mantras that you are repeating.

Ask your guides.

They are there to help you, they just can't step in unless you ask. So ask to see the wisdom of the situation or help in moving through it with ease and grace.

Whatever you are working on, think of it as a gift that is yet to be discovered. That will change your experience, all by itself, to bring things in a new direction.
