Have You lost Your Perspective?
Little things can mean a lot, especially when we focus of all our attention on them, obsess and ruminate about them, and can’t seem to let them go. Sometimes we just keep turning disturbing thoughts over and over in our minds, believing that we will surely figure out a solution if we just think about them long enough and hard enough.
When we engage in this kind of behavior, it is a sure sign that we’re thinking ourselves to death. When I do this obsessing, I know that I have lost perspective. I suddenly become the center of the universe, and my problems are the only ones that exist.
It always helps me to step back and realize that whatever problem I am having is probably not of universal proportions. This perspective helps me to see that I am powerless over my crazy thinking, and that it is making my life insane.
Ask yourself:
Will this matter in 10 years? 10 months? 10 days even?
Then give it the perspective it deserves!
