Shift your perspective

I am constantly playing with my perspective.

Circumstances and situations and external factors don’t need to change before I can feel full of love, joy, gratitude and fulfillment.

The only thing I can change, and the thing that has the power to help me reshape my reality and the world is my perspective.

Sitting in how I felt today — uninspired, unmotivated, annoyed, frustrated, anxious — my perspective was so narrow, closed and limited.

I needed a shift.

And then I received a helpful reframe from @wolf_daughter_

Sometimes, when we feel like we “should” or “need” to do something it’s a signal to chill for a beat.

There is no need to fix or force our way through, even when we feel like a shift would be helpful.

So, instead of pushing forward and efforting my way through, I shut my laptop, took a long, hot dog walk and ended up in my favorite summer spot.

I set myself up on a picnic blanket under our big maple tree for a bit of kundalini and breath work, surrounded by my sweet doggies.

I played some music, moved through, cried, laughed, shook, and got interrupted by dogs several times for kisses.

And it was the sweetest shift in perspective I’ve had in a long time.
