How to shift your perspective in life in a personal or couples retreat to lead a more joyous life.
Have you noticed that certain people move through their life with joy and ease, while others seem to be always wrapped up in the drama of what life can be? People that are more joyous and content with their life don’t necessarily have more abundance, love, or success. They just have the ability to be grateful for what they do have and they do not dwell on what they don’t have.
Our realities are very individual and come from completely different experiences from our childhood. Suffering and despair come from what’s going on inside of us not what’s going on outside of us. So if we are moving through our day without joy or being content, it is because we are buying into a story from our childhood. If we have the ability to get out of our story and look in the present moment and turn our attention to what is good, this changes our reality in a moment.
If you look at the world that we are living in, it appears to be unpredictable and filled with highs and lows. This is life! If we expect life to only be highs and no lows, we will find ourselves suffering most of the time. If we can somehow just realize that both grand moments and moments of desperation are impermanent we will be able to move through life with less suffering.
It’s important to observe life with a conscious eye, realizing that the struggles you are having in this moment are for your higher learning to help you see just how impermanent everything truly is.
It is also important to not view things as good and bad so you can appreciate the amazing insights showing up for you in every moment in your life. When we choose to love life just as life is with all of its ups and downs, the hardships will not take away our joy. So no matter what is going on in your life you can be joyous! And when you are joyous this is what you will put out into the world. So pay attention to how you are viewing each situation and see how you might be able to see it through a different lens.
