―Marcus Aurelius
Recently, I
shared with a friend that I don' t like going to the dentist (even thought my
dentist is fabulous, by the way). This
friend told me that she loves going to the dentist because she always feels
better after she goes. In fact, she said
that she would like to go more often than every six months. And that got me thinking... It reminded me that I am very fortunate to
have a dear friend as a dentist, especially because she is patient and kind,
and that I am blessed to have access to great dental care.
Sharing a
different perspective can sometimes get the other person to shift in her
thinking, and that is often a good thing.
And while I may still need to draw on my yoga breathing and think of my
favorite things as I sit in the dentist's chair, listening to my friend's
perspective moved me a little further away from my discomfort and closer to a
place of gratitude.
