"The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving."
Oliver Wendell Holmes
This weekend we here in the US will set our clocks ahead one hour for daylight savings time or as we say "Spring Forward". While we lose an hour of sleep, we gain, or at least think we do, time AND light at the end of the day. The extra hour of light gives us the feeling that we have gained time and we all of a sudden begin doing more in the evening. Isn’t it amazing how our perception of time is guided by light? More importantly, our activity levels become greater all because of the additional sunlight and perception that we have a longer day.
What perceptions do you currently have that are working against you? Is it the perception that you can’t move up at work because of the competition or flat layers within your organization? Do you believe that you can’t do a handstand in yoga class? Are you under the belief that you can’t lose those last 5 pounds? Whatever it is, try changing your perception, or as I call it "mis-perception".
Take the mis-perception and turn it around? The inner conversation goes something like…
Mis-perception:
I will be stuck in this job forever and will never move up because there’s little chance of any positions opening up.
Turn around statement:
If I keep developing my skills on new projects and working diligently, when the right time, the opportunity will present itself to you.
Mis-perception:
I’ll never be able to lose the last 5 pounds because my metabolism is slowing down as I age.
Turn around statement:
The last 5 pounds will melt when I start tracking in my food diary and consistently work out differently than I have in the past.
Turning around mis-perceptions is not so hard, is it? As soon as you do, your motivation and energy will increase and help propel you to Spring Forward.
Make your own sunlight and take advantage of new found time by changing your perceptions.
