STEP INTO A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE

Sometimes seeing what you have been experiencing from a different angle can begin to change what is possible.

I'd like to invite you to look through this lens with me. 

Not because it is the only way to make sense of things, but because I've found it to be useful. 

Your mind is constantly learning- about your experiences, yourself, other people, and the world. Much of this happens automatically, outside of conscious awareness. And sometimes your mind continues reacting based on what it learned earlier, even when that is no longer beneficial.

I don't believe you are choosing the reaction - you're noticing it. If it were simply a matter of choice, you could just as easily un-choose it. You could choose not to feel anxious, stuck, or triggered. But that's not how the mind works. I also don’t see it as something you’re carrying that needs to be let go of. If deciding to let go was the solution, wouldn’t you have done that already? It’s a response your mind is generating. That’s what minds do! Figuring out how to make it stop isn’t your homework. That’s where I come in.

This helps explain why understanding why or learning new ways to manage a reaction- isn't always enough. You can know something logically and still feel something different or experience the same unhelpful pattern or belief. I'm interested in shifting the response at the level where it's actually being generated- not simply managing it once you're aware of it. When what is generating the response changes, so does the pattern.

It is about updating what the mind has learned and the meaning attached to it. Perhaps you'll be surprised to discover what is possible when your mind gets a different message.
