Being Blind to Change
There is
a phenomenon known as change blindness from which we all suffer. What
typically happens is that if we are looking at a situation and a change
is introduced into that situation we usually do not recognize it. That
means that we have decided that we know what we are looking at, or in
some cases, looking for, and since we do not anticipate any change we do
not recognize it when it happens. This also occurs when we are focused
on something. We cannot consciously take in all the details as we
selectively focus on what interests us, so when changes do occur we are
oblivious to them.
This
phenomenon suggests that we perceive what we choose to perceive rather
than what might be a new opportunity arising.
Being
open to change, and welcoming change, as a general attitude is essential
to recognize changes and the opportunities they bring. Every change that
occurs presents one or more opportunities.
Every
change is the ending of something and the beginning of something else.
When something ends see it as the ending of something beautiful. Then
when something else begins see it as something beautiful beginning. In
the space between, let go!

Exercises:
Because change is always happening and we benefit by being
aware of what changes are occurring we can make it a habit to
frequently ask ourselves: What is different about this situation
from previously? Or, how is this relationship changing? Then
ask: what are the new opportunities being presented to me |
