Shake up your life: how to change your own perspective

I was listening to meditation music as I went to sleep. I had heard that the subconscious is actively absorbing the messages. I thought it was hogwash, of course, but part of me wanted to believe in it.

SO… I tried it.

Lo and behold!

After about a week of nightly listening, I felt a shift in my morning routine. I would wake up and name things I was grateful. The rule was not to repeat yourself. It does sound a little strange at first. But, it awakens your heart. Waking up with a grateful heart also does something magical to the way you view the challenges of the day, the people in it, and the feel of your spirit. It helps to shake up your life and change your perspective.

In the past when I would face a challenge, I would become anxious. Now, I look at the trial and instantly think that this isn’t that bad, I can handle anything. I also ask myself “what is this teaching me?”.

That was new. “What is this teaching me?”. It is a key to assuring that the challenge does not repeat itself. In hindsight, when I look back on my life, I realize that I was put in the same situation over and over again but in a different framework. I was not learning what I need to learn. I was making the same mistakes, afraid to make different decisions.

It is true, you know. If you see the same situations repeating themselves in different forms, you haven’t learned what you were meant to learn. The next time around, choose a different path and watch what happens. In the past, I was in a cycle of misery. Not anymore. I made a different decision. Now, I feel a sense of freedom and happiness.

I am not proclaiming that meditation music while going to sleep is the cure for misery. Not at all. What I am saying is that I had to try something different to change my perspective. I had blinders on thinking that there was only one way to view a situation. What I have learned is that the obvious is not the only view. You have to change your perspective. Find your avenue towards discovering how to see things in different forms.

Think outside of those blinders and shake up your life! There are many ways to view the situation. Look at it from different angles. Change your perspective by thinking in a positive light without the negative tone.

Ask yourself, what is this teaching me? You will be surprised how the universe has a way of answering that question for you.
