#TalkItOutTuesday What is your perspective on situations in life? Can you pinpoint your personal outlook? Ill get us started... I have always been a pretty optimistic person who sees the good in others yet I am definitely prone to worrying. I often attribute my mentality to my illness in my early twenties but who know if that is what shaped my perspective or not. When faced with a problem, my initial reaction is to worry. I feel myself getting warm on the inside and I instantly think of the worse case scenario...yet after a very short time, I remember to frame the situation. Putting a situation in perspective often helps me. I was recently persevering about a small health challenge a person close to me was facing and initially looking at it with worry. I soon realized that it was big in my head because it was one of my people. When I stopped to think about all the death, tragedy and life-threatening health challenges being faced daily by others, I realized that this trivial situation was just that- a small issue in the big picture. Yes it may require some time and attention but its not life threatening. Dont get me wrong, I do worry about silly little crap! But I often can get out of that anxiety by thinking bigger then myself and recalling gratitude for what I do (or dont) have. Perspective is everything and I feel lucky that my outlook is still pretty optimistic.
