\\u2018We create our reality.\\u2019

This is something I\\u2019ve heard many times and it always seems to have a woo-woo kind of ring to it.

But I think this concept transcends the spiritual woo-woo context.

Just think of the simple way in which we perceive a green bush.

A dog sees a grey bush.

A lizard or a bee sees something else entirely.

We only see a green bush because of how our nervous system translates the information it receives - in other words, it\\u2019s our perception of the world around us more than it is the world itself.

Now, what if we apply this same logic to stress?

It\\u2019s very easy for us to say things like \\u2018My job is stressful.\\u2019

But your job doesn\\u2019t contain stress.

The stress you experience as a result of your job is experienced because of the way you perceive your job.

And when we can experience and perceive our world through the lens of presence, acceptance, compassion, and curiosity, the world, for all intents and purposes, changes.

In other words, we can create the world around us.
