The Transformative Power in Experiences

Everyday we have experiences that contribute to our life that we either narrate as positive or negative.

These experiences come through both the exceptional events, and the mundane recurring tasks of every day. The way in which these experiences are perceived and interpreted, is up to you.

That is the good news.

You get to choose how you perceive and interpet these experiences, each and every day. Our brains are wired to perceive and interpret based on past perceptions and interpretations of similar experiences. This means that when you experience something as a child or an adult, your brain continues to process it similarly.

That is…until you choose to change it.

You can actually rewire your brain to perceive and interpret experiences based on changing your thoughts. You’ve heard of a mindset shift, right?! Well that’s all it takes.

Mindset shifts consistently rewire your brain and change the perceptions and interpretations of your experiences.

This is where you hold the transformative power!

Let’s say you encounter something that was previously very negative. For example, you’re running late and there was a car accident which causes a slowed traffic further delaying your already late arrival. The irritation and frustration you feel about “being so late”, and “what a horrible morning” could be shifted in to a more transformative, growth experience.

Mindset Shift:

Perhaps you were protected from the accident by your delay at home, and therefore instead of actually being harmed by your involvement in the crash, you are actually merely delayed. This actually gives you more time to prepare mentally for your meeting in the car.

The transformative power in experiences is up to you as an individual. There is opportunity for growth in every experience. Opportunities for you both personally and professionally if you focus your attention towards it.

How to Start

Start by asking yourself, “what can I learn from this?” or ”how can I grow from this experience?”

Growth is intentional.

Growth rarely happens by accident.

Transformation follows the same rules. Transformation is intentional and embraces the lows as much as the highs as both are integral parts of a transformative experience.

Today (and every day) you have growth opportunities inside of your experiences.

It’s your choice!
