Reframing Challenges

In this episode, Sarah and Jez discuss the importance of reframing a challenge as an opportunity for learning/growth. They discuss how when something feels challenging it can push you into fight or flight physically and so stress levels go up, pushing you into your head. They remind us that the universe sends us more of what we are focusing on so if we see things as a challenge we will find more things coming to us that we see as a challenge until we shift the mindset.

Sarah and Jez look at how, if you go into a state of panic, you can't feel into the situation as you have moved into your head, and that a problem is only a problem if we make it one, and this then comes back to our perception of the situation and whether we are in our head or our heart. They remind us of the importance of letting go of the outcome and trusting that it will be what it needs to be.

They also remind us that we have all the resources within us to help us to deal with any challenge, but we have been programmed to look outside of ourselves. When we break the cycle of stress that a challenge creates and drop back into our hearts and so reconnect with ourselves, we gain clarity and our perception changes so that we can see the situation for what it is, an opportunity for change, for growth, to be able to move forward.
