POPPING THE PERCEPTUAL REALITY BUBBLE.

Every person spends life floating around in their unique bubbles of perception. This bubble of perception largely depends on upbringing, religious background and various generational teachings passed down in the genes as truth. Humans create their reality based on a systematic way of life that would have been taught and imposed upon them from authority figures such as teachers and parents. A specific cycle of belief is perpetuated and maintained as one sees their peers following the same path; all things considered, to be the norm are to become the fabric of a person life. As a result, influencing a person and ultimately creating their unique perceptual reality bubble. Anything outside of this perception of reality could be considered totally off the wall, abnormal or even dangerous. The fear of being alienated from peer groups and family often outweighs the benefit of opening one's mind to new modes of thinking, being and doing. Some live out their entire lives in the perceptual bubble that was impressed upon them from birth. Many have no desire to change and much enjoy the repetitive routines of life. Others are deeply dissatisfied, yet they remain trapped for their entire lives due to fear of ridicule or being outcast in some way. Others often break out of the limited and repetitive treadmill lifestyle and start to think outside of the box (the bubble). As a result, they may broaden their horizons and follow the path of self-education, sometimes expanding the mind or gaining higher perspectives and expanded awareness. For many, this can be an exciting new journey of discovery and scary. When a person learns how to develop consciousness and awareness by stepping out of perceived comfort zones, creating new neural pathways, a person will find changing their direction in life becomes significantly more natural to them as old habitual cycles fall away.

I firmly believe that its the small things that will help us to break out of the fear cycle that we create for ourselves.

Drastic changes are not necessary to remove fear from our daily thought processes. Small fun changes will help us change the course if we're travelling down the path of dissatisfaction and sometimes despair.

The things that we enjoy most will lift us out of the mire, change our course, break down repetitive patterns of behaviour that no longer serve us, and more importantly remove the element of fear, which is like a prison we build for ourselves.
