Things going sideways? That's not necessarily a bad thing...
Often people think my blogs are inspired by some crazy deep experience, and that's not always the case...although there's nothing random about the things we decide to pay attention to either. This blog...was inspired by a duck. Yep,a duck. I was on a walk, and saw a duck in the creek drifting sideways through the water.
For some reason it inspired me to write this and it ended up being surprisingly useful for me.
Maybe it'll be useful for you too...
The idea of different perspective...
If you're facing something head on and finding you're not getting anywhere, maybe a change in view is in order.
Turn around. Notice something in your environment that you've lost track of.
When you're sideways versus looking straight ahead, what do you see now?
Going with the flow...
Making it easier like the duck was...working with the situation instead of against it.
How often do you struggle with something when letting go and accepting is also an option.
Being solo...
What's the benefit of being with your own thoughts?
It's easy to get caught up in the noise of other people's opinions and ideas... not that these aren't important. However, it's sometimes in our own company, our own space, where clarity comes.
Mull this over.
Where right now in your life, could you benefit from looking at something from a slightly different perspective? Whether it's looking at it from a new angle, surrendering rather than struggling, or just spending some time with your own thoughts...
Are you ready?
Let's get to it...
Your challenge...
This was short and sweet today and surprisingly powerful. The suggestions may seem obvious and it's often the obvious that you can overlook.
Stop...think of a situation where you've been feeling like you're going against the current…facing it head on and not getting anywhere, or there's just so much external "noise" that you can't hear your own thoughts...
Here's an invitation for you...
Ask yourself:
Where might turning in a slightly different direction be useful?
What if you stopped fighting and let it be what it is?
How could some "alone" time bring clarity?
You might be surprised how these three simple questions can provide a new way forward. With perspective, ease and clarity.
Try it...
