It is so easy for us to get bogged down in the details of our lives and not be

able to see the bigger picture. But, why is it important to be able to put things

into perspective?

As humans, we are hard-wired to focus on the negative things in our life; the

things that are going wrong. Perhaps this is even more so in today’s society of

social media and people constantly comparing themselves to unrealistic ideals.

When we widen our perspective, it allows us to focus on more of what’s before

us including all the things that are good and positive.

I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, ‘can’t see the woods for the trees,’ or, ‘don’t

sweat the small stuff.’ Both indicate that focusing too much on the details is

not a good idea. In fact, in my experience as a therapist, this can actually lead

to anxiety, worry and even depression. Have you ever stood at the top of a

mountain or looked out to a wide landscape and felt a sense of freedom and

relief? The wider perspective can make the things you’re worrying about seem

smaller.

So, how do we see this bigger picture? You can download my hypnosis session

as well as my worksheet in the ‘printables’ section to really change the way

you see things. The benefits include feeling calmer, feeling more in control,

feeling more confident and feeling happier.
