Are Things Really The Way You “See” Them?

What if the “reality” you see isn’t as “true” as you think it
is?

Perhaps it’s the reality of your health, or what doctors have
told you about your health, or what you’ve seen in the news
and in those around you…

Or perhaps it’s your finances, the economy, and again what you’re
“seeing” around you.

And then you bump into someone who has great health or great
finances or a great outlook on something that doesn’t look so
good to you, and you wonder, “what planet are they on?”

Well, today I have a suggestion, and a fun puzzle that will
anchor what I’m talking about.

The suggestion is that when you next meet someone or learn about
someone who has a “good” experience with something that you’d like
to have, too, but currently aren’t (e.g., a good experience of a
particular person, or of their own health, or of their finances
or business or of the economy…) how about releasing some of your
own tight hold on the “reality” you see, and being willing to
suspend your disbelief for a few moments—–long enough to consider
seeing things a different way, and even to adopt the belief, or
way of seeing things, that the person has who has the results or
experience you want…at least long enough to start to “see” and
experience things differently, too?

A little too abstract?

Think about this for a moment in terms of one or more areas of
your life that you’d like to be different.

How attached are you to your current way of seeing things?

Now click below to see an amazing “puzzle” that illustrates how
much our brain is conditioned to “see” in certain ways, based on
what we’re comparing to…or paying attention to…

(Personal confession:  in the puzzle you’re about to see, I
actually had to print out the chessboard and cut out the actual
squares and hold them together before I could “see” the “truth”!)

Here’s the puzzle (click here).

Let me know your own experience of “seeing” differently and what
helped you shift your perspective on something that was important
to you in the comments below.

To a prosperous and joyful 2009 for you,

Celebrate the Good

Just a quick but powerful thought for you as we near the end
of a year, a special time of celebration and remembrance, and
the beginning of a new year:

Celebrate the good.

Many will be celebrating tonight and tomorrow a very special
night and morning in history, and it’s often the stories we
tell that shape our own lives.

What story are you telling for 2008?

How about taking some time today and over the next several days
to “celebrate the good”?

Celebrate how you’ve been met this past year…

Look for, remember, and celebrate the good…

You may be surprised to find the floodgates of well-being opening
to you, and a shift in the story you tell as you enter 2009.

Have a blessed Christmas and wonderful Holiday and New Year!

What Are You Giving Your Attention To?

Here’s a quick and powerful idea that can change virtually
anything in your life starting today.

It begins with asking,

What are you giving your attention to?

Rather than feeling the victim of your health condition or
circumstances, start choosing — on purpose — to give your
attention to:

what makes you feel good

what’s life-affirming

what’s door-opening

and here’s a big one–

**what’s focused on possibility rather than on problems**

What you give your attention to has a profound effect on how
you feel.

And how you feel has a profound effect on what you’re able to
“see”, what steps you choose to take, the very effectiveness
of those steps, and even on your very cells.

So start choosing deliberately today where you’re putting
your attention.

Choose to put it on what you love…

what you’re wanting more of…

what makes you feel good…

And see how that shifts your experience!

Now here’s a special video I just discovered in the last
48 hours that immediately directs your perspective in a
certain subject and shifts how you feel in minutes–you
can check it out here (Hint:  listen with headphones–
the music is great!):

Enjoy!
