When weāre seeking change in our lives, we often focus on the content.
On a macro level, this might look like changing jobs, finding a new relationship, reaching a goal weight, or moving house.
āØOn a micro level, we try to shift the content within the content - wanting our partner to be more present, our boss to offer more praise, the neighbours to be quieter, or the groceries to cost less.
Changing the content can help, but itās often exhausting. Many things are simply outside our control. And even when we do change one thing, something else tends to rise up in its place and we land up right back where we started.
But what if the transformation we seek doesnāt come from changing the content, but from shifting our perspective?
When we look more closely, what weāre often craving isnāt the new content itself, but the feeling we believe it will bring.
āØFulfilment.āØConnection.āØAbundance.āØPeace.
Shifting perspective means we start to in-source those feelings, instead of waiting for our outer world to deliver them.
āØAnd one of the most powerful ways I know to do that - both personally and in the work I do with clients - is through the nervous system.
When we change the state of our nervous system, we are also able to adjust our personal lens of perception, so that what we experience doesnāt necessrily change, but the way we see it does.
Instead of striving for change from a place of control or urgency, we move from a space of inner connection. And from that resourced state, not only do we feel more grounded, we also become more available to the life we already have. We can make the aligned changes that are needed without needing everything to be different just to feel okay.
And to me, this is freedom.
What I have seen through working with many clients is that when we shift, our world shifts, without us needing to āmake it happenā. And it all starts from within.
So if youāre in a place that feels triggering, in a situation that you want to get out of, or just feel a bit bored and like something needs to change, start by taking a few deep breaths and ask yourself, āHow can I see this differently?ā And watch your world change. š¤
