Changing your View

August 6th, 2007

How did it get to be August so fast? While we are still
enjoying the beautiful days of summer, we are already
planning for the fall months ahead.

Planning and Organizing our lives can sometimes feel
difficult, overwhelming and monotonous. Do you
sometimes not know what to do, so do nothing at all or over
analyze and get stuck spinning in your head? Neither
of these options seem to work very well.

I have been reading the book by Martha Stewart called
Martha Rules. In this book, she talks about getting a
telescope, a wide-angle lens, and a microscope. She is
talking about business of course but I love how it can
be used when looking at your life. She explains how the
telescope allows you to see the big idea or vision, the
microscope allows you to see the details and the
wide angle allows you to be flexible enough to zoom in or out
as you grow and shift in your life.

This theory is closely related to a principle that I learned in Healing
From the Core, called Acknowledging and Widening your
perceptual lens. This will allow you to see more clearly, release
your expectations and open more fully to life giving you more
possibilities.

“If I continue to believe as I have always believed,
I will continue to act as I have always acted.
If I continue to act as I have always acted,
I will continue to get what I have always gotten.”
(Anonymous)

So next time you are stuck, overanalyzing, regrouping or relooking
at your life, I invite you take out your camera bag and look at it with
all different lenses and to see what is available to you from different
angles and perspectives.
