The Art of Stillness with Arianna Pienaar

EPISODE 36: Perceptions Can Change In The Blink Of An Eye


Listen Later

We believe we are in control of life when in fact, we control nothing but our perceptions.

Our perceptions are the way in which we regard, understand, or interpret something. They’re subjective and given the chance, naturally change all the time (because we are ever-evolving). What we perceive and believe today, can change in the blink of an eye, rendering that same belief irrelevant or moot tomorrow.

The thing is that we can find ourselves in a situation where we identify with (and get stuck in) any one of our perceptions.

As such we forget to reassess and recalibrate, and can live IN a perception that isn’t the truth for us - this means that we can live in an outdated truth.

If you’re devoted to evolution, then being open to evolve would seem like an obvious choice. THE QUESTION is - do you value change ?

Can you honour the changing tides within yourself?

We talk about all this and more in this week's episode. Let's explore together...

What we talk about:

  • How when we think we’ve chosen something for life (even small things) we box ourselves in and find ourselves in an outdated perception
  • Impermanence as a law of nature
  • How effortless change can be and why ‘doing less’ doesn’t necessarily mean you’re actually doing less
  • The impact of words like ‘always’ and ‘never’
  • What’s required to create a conscious life
  • Untangling our perceptions, and the impact of our nervous system
