If you're stuck and don't know what to do - if you've already tried other problem solving techniques - why not take your problem for a walk and see what patterns in nature you notice. Here's a demonstration (click on the image to go to the youtube video)

There's a YouTube playlist I’ll be adding to in 2025 where I'll be taking problems for a walk and taking insight from patterns in nature – do let me know if you’d like me take a specific problem on a walk (alison@alisonsmith.co (yes just .co)).

I particularly liked taking a goal I had on walk recently - whilst my goal was YouTube growth the 16 insights can be applied to any goal. You'll find a written summary here with links to shorter shorts about specific insights.

My name is Alison Smith and for 25 years I’ve used nature and metaphor to help you see the wood for the trees, get out of the rut, stop going round in circles, turn a corner and shift from not knowing to knowing what to do.

There’s posts, poems, blogs, Landscaping Your Life YouTube channel, Landscaping Your Life with Alison smith podcast episodes (my own and as a guest), a Landscaping Your Life newsletter, ezine, pdfs (there’s even one on helping you see the wood for the trees), two books (Can't see the wood for the trees - landscaping your life to get back on track and Your Prescription for Wellbeing Journal) all sharing insight to help you when you’re overwhelmed, stuck or lost.
