Perspective Flipping

I love the adventure of wondering if the solution to any problem is simply a swap in perspective of how the situation is being viewed…

I like to think of it  as a spectrum…

At one end of the spectrum is “It’s not possible”

At the other end is “it’s possible now”…

And the truth is somewhere in between…

Now let’s assume you don’t know where in the spectrum the truth actually lies…

And let’s assume your current set of knowledge doesn’t know how this thing is potentially possible…

So we embark on the journey of problem solving… seeking and finding the truth somewhere along that spectrum…

Is it one end, the other end or somewhere in between…

Now, I believe the very FIRST STEP is the most critical…

That is… from where to I view the situation…

Which end of the spectrum do I start my thought journey?

And I believe this question changes everything…

It changes the energy, the posibilities, the fun, the enthusiasm…

For example… let’s start at the…

“It’s not possible”… end and explore that energy

When I feel into that place it has a negative, stuck, ego, cage, fear, low energy, limited possibilities, slow, old, internalised feeling…

That energy feels “heavy and hard” to me…

“It’s possible now” end energy feels different…

To me that energy is upbeat, optimistic, creative, high energy, high vibration, collaborative, external, dynamic, adventurous, fun, big picture, new, innovative, playful…

This energy feels “fun and optimistic”…

So… two completely different starting points from which to start to solve the problem…

Yes, the truth is somewhere in between… but let’s say it is on a spectrum from 1 to 10…

If it’s “not possible” is a 1 and “it’s possible now” is a 10…

Example: What if the truth is an 8?

If you started at the 1 end… you would need to do, 8 units of work, in the headspace of “heavy and hard”…

That certainly feels exhausting and also, there is a high chance of giving up before you even complete the 8 units of heavy hard work…

Maybe you would complete it, but maybe it would take a long time too…

Now, let’s flip it…

Let’s ask the question…

How can this be possible? How May this already be possible? How can this be easily possible?

This can be for a money need, product need, adventure, discussion… whatever… it still applies…

Our brain literally shifts…

The energy changes…

We now start from the place and belief of its already possible…

We start from the 10 end of the spectrum and find where the truth lies…

The energy is high vibrational and now it only takes 2 units to find our truth on the spectrum in position 8…

So…

Same problem… 2 different energies to get there…

One was 8 units of heavy hard work…

The other was 2 units of light optimistic work…

Same starting point of not knowing, but 2 different attitudes…

Now let’s say instead of the truth being at position 8… let’s say it was at position 2… closer to the it’s not possible end…

To find that answer starting at the high vibe end…It would have taken 8 units of high vibe thinking to get to 2…

Which to me feels way way easier than 2 units of heavy hard work…

So… for me… even if the truth lay on the not possible end of the spectrum… it’s easier to start from the optimistic end and work backwards the whole way, than to start from the pessimistic and and fight my way to the other end…

So, it is my belief that starting the thought journey from the perspective of “it’s possible now” gets to a solution way faster and way more energised than the opposite approach…

So… simple questions to ask in any situation…

How could this be possible?

How is this already possible?

How are people already doing this?

What is already possible that I can adjust?

If I could ask anyone who might know the answer or part of the answer?

What would the situation look and feel like once it’s solved?

Go to that future place and look backward…

Be there, embody that and operate from there…
