Welcome to the Best Life University podcast.
I'm Dr.
Lynn Brown,
A counselor and educator.
In this podcast,
I discuss a myriad of topics related to the five dimensions of personal growth,
Mental,
Social,
Spiritual,
Emotional,
And physical.
Thank you so much for listening.
Today's topic is No Two People Experience the Same Reality.
Constantly,
Events are occurring in our environment,
And we notice some of them.
We respond,
Even if only internally.
And we assume that everyone else noticed what we did and saw what we saw.
But this is not so.
Whenever something happens in our environment,
Our filtering system determines what we ultimately experience.
Our filtering system is our genetics,
Experiences,
Values,
Norms,
Current emotional state,
Current physical state,
Etc.
There are many factors that come into play that decide what we experience whenever something occurs in our environment.
Therefore,
It is important to be aware that just because another person was in the same place as you when something happened,
Their experience of it may and probably will be different from yours.
By knowing this,
You're able to become an inquisitive person who is non-judgmental because you know that their perceived reality is not yours.
