WHAT DETERMINES WHERE WE STAND…

AND WHAT CAN WE DO TO CHANGE OUR POSITION?

A lot of the time we are not even aware that we have positioned ourselves in a certain way - that our beliefs about who we are and how we should react to the world and people around us are not etched in stone, and that we can shift and change that position. 

Although our points of reference have been conditioned by the beliefs of our parents and other influential people in our lives - this is pretty natural - what we often lose sight of is that we can choose to 're-locate' ourselves.

Think about some of the beliefs you have about who you are.  How many of these beliefs do you think are actually your intrinsic nature, and how many do you think have to do with the 'positions' you have bought into?





DANCE WITH IT!   EXPERIENTIAL APPS           
An opportunity to experiment with some fun
ideas...

HERE'S A FUN EXPERIMENT TO TRY ~

Imagine that you are a professional portrait photographer.
Take a photograph of yourself.

This is a magic photo which shows not only an image, but also your beliefs about yourself, your beliefs about your significance in the world and beliefs about your connections to others…

What do you think about who you are, how you look, what others think of you, what you are 'supposed' to do in your life.  Do you see yourself as beautiful?  Smart?  Funny?  Loved?  Worthy of love?  What words would you use to label this portrait of yourself?

Now as the photographer, change things! 

Stand at a different location, use different lenses and filters. 
Create a different image of the same human…
Now re-label the image.  What words describe this new creation? 

See how many shifts you can create and how many different ways you can see yourself…
