What Is That Rainbow Telling You?

I took this photo of a rainbow on a road trip with my family awhile back.
It was (clearly!) pouring rain out, and the driving was stressful.
We could barely see out the windshield at times.
My mind was racing, worrying about being late, about getting in an accident - when suddenly this rainbow appeared, right in front of us! ??
It felt like a sign at the time - a sign to breathe and become present.
After all, disaster hadn't actually struck. The fear was just making for a really bad ride.
So I chose to step out of that worry and semi-panic, and focus on the rainbow, on the possibilities we would experience at our destination.
When was the last time you chose to reframe a situation?
It's common to feel anxious, worrying about the past or the future.
What would it mean for you to simply take a moment, breathe and check in with yourself? To look around for a rainbow? To reframe the situation so that it's no longer a problem you need to solve, but an opportunity for learning?
I’m willing to bet it will relieve that overwhelming swirl of worries in your mind.
