Looking at things differently

‘Whirlwind’ by Philip Dodson

How often do you challenge yourself to look at things differently?

It is amazing what comes up when we stop and pause. Take a moment to reflect on the things that we do each day and ask simple things like why do I do that? Why do I do it that way? Is there an alternative way? Do I need to do it all?

This doesn’t suggest endless analysis, overthinking and not taking action.

It is suggesting that we all too often we do things out of habit, good or bad, without assessing its impact, good or bad.

Finally, it gives us a chance to reflect on what we are doing right instead of dwelling on what we are perhaps doing wrong.

Doing things differently opens up uncertain and exciting outcomes.

What went right?

‘Unfinished Art’ by Philip Dodson

In life, we are programmed to look for what went wrong, or to catch someone out, or to find fault.

What if we changed to look at went well, what was good about something and congratulating people for the work that they do?

How would our work improve?

What would happen to our morale and self-confidence?

Worth a try, it is a choice you could make.
