What place does your mind live in? Have you ever had someone not see things from your perspective, it's almost like they're so focused on their own perspective, or their own point of view, that they can't see anything else. Being able to understand other people's perspectives allows us to improve our communication skills and become a better influence, build and maintain rapport, show empathy for other people, and help us to resolve conflict. Being able to shift from one perspective to another where you can consider things that you normally wouldn't have is the best way to go. There's three perception places that we experience. First, seeing things from our own perspective.
Second, seeing things from someone else's perspective, and third, from an observers perspective, and I'm just going to go over those now. First place, your sense of self lift here. This is how How you naturally perceive your environment and those around you. This is where you see things through your own eyes, hear with your own ears and are aware of what you're feeling in your body, the benefits. If a person is trying to decide something, it's important for them to work out what it is that they want. This is where people are assertive, express their own viewpoint and pursue their own goals.
The disadvantages of this place is you're only thinking about how things are affecting you. Because you're not aware of anyone else's perspective. People who only operate from this place tend to be completely insensitive to the needs of others and can easily hurt others to second place. This is where you step into someone else's shoes to experience the world through their eyes. seeing things from here allows you to see feel and hear the reality they're experiencing which allows you to become more aware of their perspective the benefits of this seeing a situation from Hear allows you to access new information about your relationship with other people. By taking time to understand their perspective, you're able to develop empathy and compassion for them.
Doing this will also help you become more self aware. As you look at yourself through the other person's eyes, you become more aware of how other people are experiencing, you know some disadvantages. People who get stuck in here can become easily influenced by others, and put the needs of others before their own. If you just accept another person's perspective on things, you lose confidence in your ability to see things from your own point of view, and this can hold you back from achieving your potential. People who constantly put themselves last tend to take on other people's problems and this can leave them feeling emotionally drained. And third place, this is where you get to be the fly on the wall.
It's where you see, hear and feel what a situation is like from an outside perspective. From this place, you're able to stand back and view the relationship between yourself and others. Almost as if you're someone else watching from the outside the benefits in a heated argument, our emotions can often get the better of us and stop us from seeing what's really going on. When we stand back and look at a situation from an outside perspective, we get objectivity which can be more honest
