In this show, podcasters Shari and Jann Simmons discuss how our experiences can be perceived differently when they are viewed through a lens of gratitude or trauma or pessimism, etc. For example, when viewing life from a lens of positivity, one might see a traffic jam as an opportunity to spend some time alone in the car, listening to music. If a traffic jam goes through a filter of negativity, it will most likely be seen as a frustrating inconvenience that leaves us tense and stressed out. The power of these filters in determining our choices is discussed. Join us for Part II in a couple weeks when we talk about how to throw out filters that no longer work!
