Summary

What you choose to set the power of your thought on *is* the lens through which you’ll see the world for a time, and if you repeat that pattern over and over again, this becomes how you see the world. This becomes your life. Where are you overwhelmed? What feels too big to you right now? Can you zoom out a bit? Can you exchange your microscope for a wide-angle lens as a mental exercise? Let's chat.

0:00.0	Hey, you're on air with Ella, where we talk motivation, mindset, personal development, basically everything you need
0:21.7	to get more of what you want and less of what you don't. Let's go.
0:29.9	Have you ever looked at a picture of yourself that looks pretty good and for some reason
0:33.7	you decide to zoom in and then you're like, no no no no zoom out zoom out or in reverse
0:41.2	have you seen a picture of something that's so super zoomed in that you can't tell what it is like it might be
0:47.6	a cute little ladybug but if you're zoomed in too close you have no idea you have no context for just a
0:53.9	blurry shiny red thing you have to idea. You have no context for just a blurry, shiny red thing. You have to
0:56.6	zoom out to give it shape, to give perspective to the thing. Well, today I want to talk to you about
1:01.7	the power and the necessity of zooming out. Let me tell you a couple of stories to make this make
1:07.6	sense. You've heard the adage, what you focus on grows, right? It's
1:11.8	100% true. Whatever you direct this amazing thing called your brain on, that's what will reside

1:33.6	goodbye to someone they love. Like that's simple, right? To think about it that way. What you choose to
1:38.7	set the power of your thought on is the lens through which you'll see the world for some period of time. And if you repeat
1:46.0	that pattern over and over again, then this becomes how you see the world. That's not good or bad.
1:52.5	It's neutral. It's just science. So how does this relate to the tool I want to talk about today,
1:57.3	the tool of zooming out? When we focus on a thing, whether we realize it or not,
2:03.4	it can dominate our landscape. Anyone who's ever experienced addiction or obsession knows this.
2:09.7	I've been so obsessed with my own health, I say that in quotes, that I viewed everything in my life
2:16.4	through that lens for way too long. Like I'm out there
