The Different Place

Visiting your life from a different place can transform your feelings.

Think of a time when you were preparing to go on a holiday and there was seemingly simply not enough time to cram everything in. By the time you got away on your break you felt exhausted and then had trouble sleeping because your mind was still churning through a hundred thoughts.

Around 3 or 4 days later you were lying on a beautiful beach with your family and maybe some friends. Work and its priorities were much further away and your mind started to think more broadly about life. You had shifted back a gear or two!

Your work existed still , of course, but you were seeing it from a different place. Nothing more!

Time and place can fundamentally change your outlook - your perspective. Changing your perspective can transform your experience of life.

The problem herein is that it took an annual holiday - a once a year event - to change your perspective. If you wait for your annual holiday to shift your perspective your actual life can slip by a year at a time.

There is an alternative. It’s called moving from Doing to Being mode. Over the ages people have learned to cultivate this way of being and it is possible for any of us to do the same.
