It was awesome having my daughter here. We squealed and caused a ruckus at the airport. We played with bubbles. We played in the sand. We went shopping. We ate (and ate and ate and ate).
We bickered and learned more about each other.
After MacKenna flew in we decided to go to the outlets in El Paso. Iโm not sure why my phone wanted us to take the scenic route from the airport to the outlets and back to Las Cruces but that is the way we went.
When we were about 20 miles outside of Las Cruces she asked me โare those the Organ Mountains?โ
โNope.โ
10 miles outside of Las Cruces โare you sure those arenโt the Organ Mountains we only have 10 more miles.โ
โThey canโt beโโฆI was definitely not as confident as the first time I answered her. They were definitely the Organ Mountains!
From that vantage point though they looked completely different to me. I watch the sunrise every morning over the Organ Mountains and had only seen them from that direction.
โจ Perspective is everything.
When we are so used to seeing things one way, it can take someone else to point out something that has been in front of our face the whole time.
A business coach that I recently worked with told me that my website felt apologetic.
I work with people who have tried traditional and alternative approaches to chronic anxiety, depression and pain but are still suffering. My website was focused on the fact that energy healing is not woo or magic where I was trying to convince people to give energy healing a shot even though it may be out of their comfort zone. The modality I was trained on is โonlyโ 30 years old and I get it, that is considered weird by many people.
I loved her perspective.
It was something like โ๐๐จ๐ฎ ๐ง๐๐๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฅ๐๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฆ ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐ข๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ฎ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐๐ญ๐ก ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ ๐จ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ฎ๐ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ ๐ก๐จ๐ฐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐ก๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ, ๐๐ฆ๐จ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ, ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ฅ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐๐ข๐ง. ๐๐ก๐๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐จ๐ง ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ญ๐ก ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ง๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฑ๐ก๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง.โ
She told me I needed to explain why the other approaches donโt work and if they want to feel better, they need to try something different that works.
Writing it out now it seems so obvious to me, but I was stuck in a rut and needed her guidance.
In another conversation I had, I was asked โwhat do you call what you doโ, my response was that itโs technically energy healing, but I like to think of the sessions as empowerment sessions.
Shifts in perspective can create a feeling of empowerment.
We are often unaware that we are acting in ways that are disempowering. Which leads to chronic anxiety, depression, and health symptoms because we are wasting our precious energy.
