Our life experiences, from our childhood onward, affect how we perceive everything that we experience each day. As a dog who has only been beaten will perceive a raised hand will beat him, a dog who has only known love will perceive a raised hand to pet and stroke him. If our world is colored with negative images and feelings, each time we see or feel similar images and feelings, we will have the same experience, regardless if the interaction was meant that way or not. It is our belief that with a certain action, a specific thing will result with that action. To change your perceptions, you must try to restructure the your beliefs of negative images and feelings to positive images and feelings. The only way to do this is to begin to chance your internal belief system. The more positive interactions you have, the more they will begin to outweigh the negative interactions in your belief system. It does take conscious thought but over time you can be successful and make changes in your perceptions. It will not happen overnight or immediately, though with constant effort you can change your perceptions, which will change your thinking process and ultimately change your interactions with others and their interactions with you for the better.
