Have you ever found yourself trapped in a spiral of negative thinking, where the challenges of life seem to overshadow everything else? You’re not alone. Our nervous system is wired with a negative bias—a survival mechanism that once protected our ancestors but now often holds us back from experiencing the fullness of life.
The Invisible Lens of Limitation
Let me introduce you to Sarah, a local government professional who had recently lost her job due to the scaling back of workers in the U.S. Initially, she was consumed by thoughts of scarcity: “I don’t have enough savings. I’ll never find another position. Everything is falling apart.” Her mind was a whirlwind of lack—no money, opportunities, or hope. On the surface we can see how easy it is to get caught in that trap, let's face it these circumstances suck.
After working with Sarah and prompting her to connect deeply to her heart, she saw that there was so much more going on than what the threat response in her nervous system was compelled to do.
It took some time, but eventually, something shifted.
Sarah decided to pause. She took a deep breath and asked herself a transformative question: “What do I truly desire?” Instead of focusing on what was missing, she began to see potential. She recognized her extensive network, unique skill set, and the opportunity to realign her career with her passion. Sarah quickly landed a new job in an area she had been considering for a few years. Things opened up for her, and she explained in our last conversation how she understands now more than ever the shift required in those challenging moments.
Choosing Your Focus: A Conscious Practice
We always have a choice. Even in our most challenging moments, we can consciously redirect our attention. It’s not about denying difficult experiences but about recognizing the hidden gifts within them.
The Gifts of Perspective
Challenges are teachers, not obstacles
Every setback contains a seed of opportunity
Your perception creates your reality
Rewiring Our Narrative
Our nervous system loves familiar patterns, especially negative ones. Breaking free requires intentional practice. It’s about setting clear intentions that guide us toward what we want to manifest rather than what we fear or wish to avoid.
“Inside the pause, you rejuvenate your energy, explore choices and unearth opportunity.”
