Sophia Lia’s Advice & Thoughts - The Power Of Perspective - The Power of Perspective Is life happening TO you, or FOR you? It’s a question of perspective. When I sat down to think about it, I realized that many of us coast through life noticing the world, the events that take place in our lives and our interactions with all those we come in contact with as things that are happening “to” us, as if humanity is on some sort of “auto-pilot” program that we have no control over. On a conscious level…we observe the world happening around us from a physical perspective, but subconsciously, our past experiences and judgements alter how we perceive our tangible world. Have you ever noticed that even throughout the same routine of daily life, you have some days that are just miserable and everything seems to go wrong, while some days you feel completely unstoppable - like the whole world is working for you and everything is sunshine and rainbows? simple as having the capability of observing the different points of view between you and your parents but having the grace to understand and accept that both views can be potential truths. It could also be as deep as looking at a broken friendship in a way that allows you to accept that it taught you a lesson you were meant to grow from, as opposed to leaving you “worse for wear.” But shifting perspectives is not always easy, especially when emotions are involved - so here are a few techniques I’ve found to be useful as I’ve grown on my own path: 1. Learn to become a neutral observer Looking at your situation or challenge from an outside point of view (removing your emotional response to the situation) can really help you better understand others’ perspectives of a situation, not just how you perceive that situation to be. You’ll find this approach can very quickly bring you peace of mind and deescalate negative emotions surrounding the topic or situation. 38 Have You Read It? If you like what Sophia has to share, be sure to check out her debut publication which was released this past August. teenlook | fall edition For the most part, our daily events and the relatively routine patterns of things happening around us go relatively unchanged. However, our perspective of our environment creates certain emotions and focusing on those emotions causes the expansion of what we see as positive or negative, largely dictating whether we have a “good” day, or a “bad” one. What’s important to realize is that your perspective can completely make or break any situation - it all depends on how you look at it. A healthy, or positive perspective might be as IG - sophiallia sophialiamag.com 2. Take on an optimistic viewpoint Even though sometimes it can be tough to find the light in something, if we can identify even one positive thing about the “negative” challenge, it can sure open your mind to a more optimistic perspective overall. Find one good thing that could come from your situation, and it’ll be sure to make you more open to accepting the situation for what it really is (which again, is often nothing more than an opportunity to grow.) 3. Practice gratitude, even for the little things Even though you might be facing a sticky situation or feeling completely overwhelmed with life, keeping a journal which includes things or people you are grateful for is a powerful exercise to stay happy and positive. When things are going rough, you can refer back to all the good and then come back to your situation with a more blessed mindset. Remember, your mind is an incredibly powerful tool. A tool that can quickly influence your emotional responses to the world around you - so when you put it to good use with repetitive positive thoughts, chances are, you’ll see more sunshine and rainbows.
