Perspective Awareness!

Did you know that in your day, you operate roughly 95% of it from the subconscious programming of your mind? What this means is that you are very rarely in control of your life and are often reacting to your life. Good news! You can learn how to operate from that 5% of your consciousness more often and begin to really be in charge of your life, instead of just wishing that you could.

I was driving today and I was thinking about how cold it was. Then as I turned a corner, I was a bit blinded by the sun and as my eyes adjusted I saw a rainbow.

This isn't your usual rainbow, and most people don't expect to see one unless it's spring and raining, so I was pleasantly surprised to witness it. It's just a small glimpse of a rainbow, but beautiful all the same. I wondered how many people could see that rainbow and how many haven't even looked up to notice it, how many saw it and dismissed it, while others saw it and were amazed. What kind of person are you? Can you appreciate the beauty and wonders of the world, or do you find it challenging to see beauty regularly? No judgment—I have been both!

There have been times when I could see a rainbow and dismiss it as just another day. I'm sure I've also missed rainbows, as this isn't some rare phenomenon that I happened to catch.

For some, seeing the beauty in the world comes naturally, while for others, it requires more effort. Not everyone grew up in supportive families, not everyone has experienced wealth, and some have faced great loss due to death. These factors can make it hard to be intentional about life and, more importantly, so focused on what's happening that we don't take the time to look up.

As someone who has struggled with mental health, I know how easy it can be to get so caught up in living day to day and fulfilling responsibilities that looking up can become heavy and burdensome. It doesn't have to be.

I'd love to share my journey with you and perhaps give you some tools that might help you along your path of being intentional with life.

Are you ready?
