In the flip of a dime…. life can change

In speaking with a client recently, I noticed his frustration as he commented about a situation he felt hammered by and unable to change.   His vision was so clear to him and yet unattainable in the moment due to perceived roadblocks. 

He is not alone in feeling this way, in fact, I think most people have high negative emotions when you want change but are unable to impact the situation to get your desired result.

I have learned to see that change is the only constant in life and situations that seem tough can quickly turn into something good or vice versa in the flip of dime. I love to play poker, so this analogy really works for me because it is all about the odds, unpredictability and trust.

Your perception about the situation is what really matters. You can see it as a challenge or as an opportunity. Since life proves over an over that it can change quickly, why not proceed as a solution seeker for a new opportunity. As Albert Einstein said, “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.”

How do you flip out of your thinking mind?

Through MINDFULNESS and tapping into your imagination for greater creative thoughts you can change your thinking.  Mindfulness is being aware of your thoughts and feelings without judgement to create a feeling of calm.  Mindfulness is simply giving your thinking brain a 5 to 10 min break to shift your focus away from your problem to your breath or a sound.

This practice can help release the negative emotional pull you felt by the problem and allow ease and clarity back in, so you can play in your imagination where there are endless possibilities and creative solutions. Yes, Albert Einstein took mental breaks to allow his brilliance to shine through and so can you.

I have created a Mindfulness at Work lunch and learn program to Reduce Stress and Increase Creativity.
