There are very few things in life that are truly
outside of our control. I know you know this, but
do we really apply this truth when things get
really tough?
So, what do we do about the things that are
inside of our control to improve the quality of
our daily lives? One thing that has helped me is
to make a choice to shift my perspective on the
situation; to literally change how I see and feel
about it.
I believe this to be a three-step process:
First, we have to believe that we CAN actually
make this shift. Too many times, we feel, and
even state out loud, that what is happening to
us is something we can’t change. Without first
making this shift in belief, it will be impossible to
take steps two and three. Start with committing
to changing your belief.
Second, acknowledge the situation and how you
are feeling about it objectively and removing
the emotion as much as you can. Easier said
than done, I know! You will notice, however, that
when practiced with the lesser intense
situations, you will be able to handle the bigger
adversities with much more ease and peace.
You CAN
change how you
are feeling!
