Taking the broad view

No matter the phase of my human evolution, I hold on and step back immediately from my current experience to see the full spectrum of your human life experience so far

Inspired by the practice of stepping back from immediate experience to gain perspective

Some language reference to Abraham Hicks teachings

This illustration captures that mental shift from being overwhelmed by something immediate to seeing it in context of the whole life story.

Like zooming out on a map—detail changes, but orientation improves.

Being present doesn't just mean focusing on the current moment.

Sometimes it means having enough presence of mind to remember: this hard day is just one day, this phase isn't the entirety of existence.

When stressed or overwhelmed, does stepping back and getting perspective help?

Or is it more helpful to focus narrowly on the immediate task?

What helps you get perspective?

Wear this as a reminder to zoom out when spiraling.

If feeling overwhelmed is constant or significantly impacting life, talking with a therapist can help develop personalized strategies for managing it.
