Stress Management – 30,000 ft View

We all have the choice to face each day as a new opportunity.One can choose to dwell on the events of yesterday and allow them to affect their outlook, but to whose benefit? Fear and Regret are siblings form the same shell. Fear of facing yesterday's mistakes will only result in a future filled with regret.

This Idea of the 30,000 ft view is a recent obsession for me. It allows one to cope with their strengths as well as with their pit falls. The further one can put themselves from the stronghold grip brought on by the emotion of fear the closer one puts themselves toward having that 30,000 ft view.

"Take a step back, stop looking at others, and start examining yourself"

Its a gift to be able to withdraw from ones insecure self and have a 100 ft. At this point the picture seems much bigger and the problem becomes much smaller and solution (ie. a smile) comes much more easily.

It takes a lot of work,
a lot of effort to reach that 30,000 ft vantage point,
and once there, it takes a lot of energy to stay there.
However, if you can see your own smile from 30,000 ft away,
all of that energy will be very well spent.
