Tapping into well-being
The idea of how well-being comes to life seems to be a simple notion of focus. In my life and in my work, I am delighted when whatever becomes the focus, shows up a whole lot more in life. I get to choose where I focus. Am I looking at what is working or what isn't working? Last week, I was talking with a friend about how she was feeling. She was feeling pain from a headache.I have been a health care provider for over 20 years; my first response was to ask about the pain... quality, quantity, etc.
After listening carefully for a few minutes, I stopped myself and switched my inquiry to what didn't hurt. Where was her body functioning well? In a matter of seconds we found ourselves in an avalanche of well-being with a few granules of pain left over from the once prominent headache.
A simple switch of focus allowed us to tap into well-being that was there all along.
A lovely reminder to check... where am I focusing right now... on the yuck or on the joy???
