Pet at the Vet Mindset Shift and the Law of Relativity

Irene, host of This Mindful Muse, A Podcast, discusses her "Pet at the Vet Mindset Shift" in relation to the Law of Relativity.

Major Takeaways:

• As a co-creator in the Universe, you get to assign meaning to every single situation you experience. This can come up in the moment, change over time, or occur upon reflection.
• The Law of Relativity is the idea that everything is relative, and events or circumstances can mean something different from each unique perspective.
• Your individualized perspective is the "frame through which you view the world" and may be shaped by your identity, life experiences, and beliefs.
• There is no right or wrong way to view the world, and each person's perspective is valid.
• Once you identify the elements of your frame, you are able to release any elements that no longer serve you.
• Considering the elements in others' frames allows us to build understanding with those who view the world differently from how we view the world.
• Obstacles are opportunities for growth.
• The "Pet at the Vet Mindset" is the idea that in the moment when we are experiencing discomfort, we can feel a bit like a pet at the vet. We may feel scared, in pain, and unsure of why this situation is unfolding.
• Choosing to trust the Universe in those moments of feeling like a pet at the vet, knowing that there may come a point in the future when you will be able to assign a valuable meaning to the lesson learned, can be empowering while still validating your experience.
• The concept includes the idea that, from the perspective of the Universe, which has a bird's eye view of your soul progression, that an experience may be "for your own good," despite the momentary discomfort.
