Step back and get a different perspective

Published: Dec. 25, 2019, 8:40 a.m.

It's easy to get caught up in the little details of our life and not see the whole picture.  If you want a practical example of perspective, do a jigsaw puzzle, (or even a wasgij puzzle for an extra challenge).  Notice what happens when you stop doing the puzzle and take a break - you will often find things are clearer when you go back to it.  Or ever had someone come along and know straight way where a piece can go that you've been trying to fit somewhere for ages?  That's the difference perspective can make!  

\n

Using perspective is part of cognitive self-care, and like connectedness, cognitive self-care is one of the key pillars to your wellbeing.  Perspective allows you to see what is going on in your life with clarity - what are you really thinking and feeling?  What truly matters?  How can you be seen, heard and valued? 

\n

Connection is a key part of your self-care road map; of your own personal wellbeing plan.    In this series we focus on Connection, as well as other self-care measures - Cognitive self-care, Emotional self-care, Physical self-care, and Meaning.  If you are ready for a new perspective on self-care and connection subscribe to be kept up to date with the latest podcasts.
