What is perspective? How do I shift perspectives? What is my perspective? How do I see other perspectives? Do I choose my perspective? Am I a victim or a creator? How can I consciously choose a perspective? How do I zoom out from a situation?
In this episode of Love Always, Self, Karista & Shyra discuss how to practice shifting perspectives by consciously deciding on how you want to emotionally respond in a situation, how you want to feel towards a perspective, or whether or not you want to interact with a perspective. Each perspective we evaluate has the opportunity for creating an alternative timeline and a butterfly effect based on your choices.
Learning how to reduce your reactivity and consciously evaluate how you want to respond can take time, like creating any new habit. With practice, patience and compassion with yourself will assist you in learning how to respond more consciously to situations.
Practice being open to new perspectives with these tips:
- Viewing the situation from a zoomed out point of view. Be open to seeing new sides of the situation, including other people’s potential perspectives and what may be affecting them.
- Hold space for others: Take a moment and listen. Be open to receiving information.
- Set boundaries for yourself. If you need space to consider other perspectives, communicate what you need from the other person (ie. 5m or a day to think)
- If you need clarity, ask for it.
- Minimize shortcuts in communication to avoid misunderstandings.
- Have a dialogue, not a debate. It’s not about convincing, it’s about understanding.
- Speak your truth; and be open to alternative truths.
- Release expectations
- Learn to accept that another person’s perception may be different. Let go of the idea that you are meant to change their mind and be open to the possibility that they may change yours.
- Understand that much discomfort and fear is expressed through anger, and most of this is related to deeply rooted negative patterns of belief.
- Some people’s perceptions may not be the same as your own, and that is ok too.
- Ground yourself in a place of LOVE, for yourself and others
How do we choose a different perspective?
- Make the choice to practice being open to shifting perspectives & creating new patterns
- Zoom out from the immediate situation/event
- Create awareness
- Observe, both the internal & external reactions of yourself and others’ reactions
- Communicate your intentions to create new patterns
- Hold compassion for yourself and others
- Decide on how you want to feel & the impact you want to have on others
Shifting perspectives is not about who is right or who is wrong, it’s about coming together to try to understand one another so we can support each other, love each other and build each other up. On a larger scale, when we come together from a place of trying to absorb information, purely for the purpose of understanding, we can begin to work better together in building a stronger, happier community and life. It’s not about competition, it’s about collaboration in co-creation in what we want to experience in this life.
