This week had me revisiting the definitions of Perspective and Perception.
Perspective: a point of view; a sense of proportion. Perception: a way of regarding, understanding or interpreting…
In this sudden change/disruption of what seemed solid…what seemed unshakeable in my own life, I have been working to view it all from multiple directions.
For the most part, we naturally see things from our own perspective, but I have been curious about every angle, for as long as I can remember. Sidenote: Curiosity wasn’t necessarily encouraged but has remained a constant companion for me, since childhood.
Despite the deep pain and sadness which, at times, has been so heavy, I have been taking time to view the good, the bad, the ugly, the shocking through lenses opposite mine.
Since the divorce process started, I’ve been doing this regarding all aspects – the years prior to marriage, the engagement months, the life and death of the marriage.
I’ve heard it said that perception is reality.
Are we open to genuinely view our perception/reality from all angles? If not, are we limiting ourselves in some way?
Many words have been thrown at me, but I carefully hold it all up to the Light and see if Truth is present.
If no Truth is present, I find healthy ways to release (so that my body isn’t holding on to the negatives). If Truth is present, I take the time to process so that I can begin applying it to my life.
Some moments/days it may be too difficult to see a different view and that is alright.
Breathe. Take your time.
Be gentle with yourself
and
Challenge your Perception to gain true Perspective.
A healthy perspective keeps us grounded/centered/secure.
Positive energy, Prayers and Power to you as you move forward to face all angles of Perception (yours, mine, theirs, ours!), discard the lies, process the Truth and gain Perspective.
