Try this activity . . .
if you are trying to get people to look at something from a different
perspective.
With your right arm point straight up to the sky. Look up at your hand
and imagine it is the rotor of a helicopter. As you are looking up at your
hand begin turning your hand and arm in a clockwise direction. Continuing
turning your arm as your helicopter is landing. Begin to bring your arm and
hand down as you continue rotate in a clockwise direction until your hand is
below your waist. Look at your hand. Are you still rotating your arm and
hand in a clockwise direction?
If you did this correctly, your hand started rotating in a clockwise
direction and ended in a counter clock wise direction. What changed?
Only one thing . . . your perspective. Sometimes we need to change out
perspective to get a fresh look at a situation. Maybe it is getting up from
your desk and going around to the other side. It could be to drive a
different way home from work. Or maybe just to have something different to
eat for breakfast. If we change our perspective we'll be amazed at how
differently we will see things in our life.
