Blog 27/52 Internal Perception

Imagine today happens to be that relaxed weekend and you are in a cozy corner with your favorite book. Suddenly you hear your neighbor shout out to you, ‘There is a COVID victim in the building and it must be Lisa’. I bet your reaction will be to literally jump up, your heart raising and your tone all excited and high, shouting back : ‘OMG, how careless of Lisa’.

Our brain accepts whatever information we feed it as ‘The Truth’ without any filters. The information we hear and build on could be real or it could be our imagination or how we perceive it. And when we operate with fear and anxiety, the analyzing and logical power of our brain is shut down. How could you be so sure it was Lisa? How do you know the neighbor’s information is correct?

We need to understand and accept our perception can be blinded. We need to be mindful and take the effort to view the world with an openness. This will allow us to be more calm and get a better handle of the situation.
