As children we are meant to be sponges. In order to survive every brand new experience we look to those around us for how to function. We copy, mimic, repeat and absorb before there is even a filter to catch and discard what is not serving our greatest good. During this process of growing up we develop survival patterns that are dysfunctional, much of the time without much awareness that there’s a healthier way. To be a we must learn the power and practice of having Discernment.
This means being able to recognize when is a healthy time to absorb new information and when is it better for us to adjust our perspective to keep ourselves safe. Growing up I thought of safety as a purely physical concept. It was only through the PIVOT process that I realized I had the ability to attain and protect my own emotional, intellectual, financial and even spiritual safety! No matter what situation or circumstance we are presently in, as a healthy adult we always have the power to choose our perspective. This gives us the ability to manage and tolerate our feelings more effectively which translates into thriving dispite whatever chaos or confusion is happening around us. How we process reality determines the level of ease and flow we experience.. this can be done anytime, anywhere and requires no one’s consent or participation but that of your own healthy adult!
