How do we develop the skill set that allows us to find the 'gift' in any
experience? Are some people just born
with this ability?
Maybe.
At the same time we do have a wonderful capacity to learn. Once we recognize the need for an attitude evolution, a
reason that makes sense to us, we have a tremendous ability to shift in the
way we look at things.
We rarely make changes because we should, whether that mandate comes
from someone else or our own internal bully voices…
We change our outlooks when we understand that we do have a choice, and
that we can upgrade our attitude in a way that improves our quality of life!
DANCE WITH IT! EXPERIENTIAL APPS
An opportunity to
experiment with some fun ideas...
REMODELING…
Remember that old saying: "Fake it
till you make it"? Well this is a
variation on that theme with a bit of movie stardom thrown in…
USE YOUR BRAIN
POWER!
Think of someone you
know who is inspiring in their attitude towards hard times.
Imagine you can be
that proverbial fly on the wall and watch and listen to how they go about
dealing with difficult things…
Now get your actor
thing going and take on their role as if you were really studying for a part in
a movie! Imitate their voice - copy
their body movements - facial expressions…
Be them for a few
minutes. (Actors often talk about how
they expand their own awareness by taking on roles for a movie, stating that
after the gig is over they find something in them has changed.)
Take a minute in
this role and let yourself experience a somewhat altered reality. How does this feel?
Now, take a deep
breath and step back into your own shoes.
Can you feel the shift?
