Ever had a really big zit that you can't stop obsessing over!? It is a weird example, but whether it is zits or other challenges in our lives, both big and #firstworldproblems, it is easy to get tunnel vision and stuck in your own perspective. We thankfully live in a world where a lot of the challenges that we face are the type that our great-grandparents would have killed to have. Yet, our biology and brain do not care. Our problems are our problems and it can become difficult to keep things in perspective in the grand scheme of life. In this episode, we discuss why scheduling and forcing yourself to regularly adopt other perspectives beyond your own immediate one can make you more empathetic and might add a deep sigh of gratitude and a smile to your day. It is a heavier episode of the BEAP but I think it might make a huge difference for your day-to-day mindset and your life. Show notes at http://dralexritza.com/better-ever-after-podcast/
