So here it comes my friends.
The question of the week.
Have you ever wondered how your thoughts really work?
Or, when your day is going crazy, have you ever felt out of control?
Of course, you have.
Something happens and suddenly your mood changes. It comes down to a matter of perception and how we perceive things. And, it can get wicked my friends.
Let me walk you through the steps of perception. Perception is simply organizing, identifying, and interpreting of sensory information in order to represent and understand the information or environment.
All perception involves signals that go through our nervous system, which in turn result from physical or chemical stimulation.
This is how it works. Information comes in to you. We grab that information and many times we turn it into something more than it really is.
What did I see or what did I just hear? What did this person just say to me?
We also feed the information to ourselves. What am I listening to? What am I watching and who am I hanging with?
In other words, how am I perceiving this information. Has anyone ever said to you….hey it’s ok, calm down.
All the information we are surrounded by impacts your day and what started out as a perfectly normal day suddenly turns into a negative situation. How can we change that.
