Sometimes a subtle shift in perception about a difficulty you’re facing opens up a world of options that hadn’t seemed to exist previously. I remember a time when my business had been really slow for a few months. I was getting a bit panicky about it and prayed for some way to turn this around. I felt frustrated at the seeming lack of guidance I was getting when I tried to pray and meditate. I decided to go for a walk to see if I could get out of the depressed mood I was in.

As I walked I thought about all the things I was grateful for in my life. As my mood began to lift and I was feeling more hopeful, marketing ideas for my business started to pop into my head. Before the end of the walk I had a plan of action. Within a few weeks of implementing the new concepts I had a bunch of new clients.

Have you had this experience? Tell me about it.
