S06E014, Feelings Can Be Fickle… Andy B 2 Minute Video
Sometimes we need to get a better perspective on what we can see. Because, what we see, may not be what we actually see!
A child can look down the road, and see the same cars as an adult. However, an adult has height and that makes the ability to judge the speed of those cars so much more accurate.
A different perspective can literally become a life saver!
Don’t ever just trust your feelings without checking out what those feelings are telling you.
An example I’ve used many times is that of feeling full, spotting the dessert trolley in a restaurant, gorging yourself on chocolate cake – only to think you feel hungry because you see something nice to eat.
Feelings lie. And, just like the example of working out how fast a car is moving along a road towards us, a fresh perspective can be a life changing help.
So, if you’re feeling something, check it out by asking a trusted friend - who can see a bit better; clearer; dispassionately to you.
We can be wrong even if we’re right, and this goes for feelings too!
Just a thought…
