Practice

Zooming out️

Gain perspective by stepping back from the details and viewing your situation from a higher altitude.

Why it matters

When you're immersed in the thick of daily decisions, challenges, or emotional entanglements, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, disoriented, or unsure what matters most.

Without zooming out, you may lose perspective — focusing too much on the immediate while neglecting the bigger picture.

Zooming out helps you regain clarity, emotional distance, and a sense of direction. It reconnects you with the broader context, your deeper intentions, and the significance of what you're navigating. Skipping this practice can lead to reactive choices, tunnel vision, or a persistent sense of being lost in the woods.
