Observing Perception

in #life7 years ago

I feel like one thing we rarely ponder is how we see and experience the world. Not the experiences we have, but the way we experience things.

Our perception is changing all the time, depending on our focus. Everyday, sometimes every hour, they change so frequently we hardly notice anymore and we rarely take a look at why or how we are perceiving. Try comparing walking to working on a computer, what are the differences in what you are aware of.

What beliefs are you filtering the world through. How does the way you see the world change when your attitude towards it changes. Does the way your body feel change the way you experience, can a small change in posture affect how we feel or experience things?

I’ve found things like body tension play a big role in how I see and understand the world, what have you guys found? If you explore this topic out on a walk or in meditation or whenever really let me know what you find.

This year I've been lucky enough to come face to face with how my perceptions create my reality. In many instances my old wounds caused me to project negative beliefs on to certain situations and people. One of those examples: someone sending a text and saying one thing, and me reading it through my own filters and assuming it meant something different. I am healing old wounds too so it always happens in perfect timing to help see and learn the lessons clearly. Nice post!

I'm right there with you, I had no clue how my perceptions were affecting me and my reactions. Texts are a classic example, they are so hard to interpret since you don't have body language to help. Thanks for the comment, I'll have to check your blog soon, been a busy weekend so far :)

Yes, it was a big mess when it happened but it was also liberating. I realized we really do create our own reality. The whole world could be offering help and support but if our beliefs don't support that reality we won't see it at all.

Thank you...sometimes we forget and it’s signs like your post the keeps us on the quest for awarness. I look forward to reading more of your posts 😁
