Centering, to help in solving a problem, requires seeing things the way they are, not the way you think they should be. It's not seeing things the way you thought they would be, either. It involves seeing as is.
To do that, we need fresh eyes. We need to be able to let go of our expectations. We need to remain open to possibilities and to surprises.
Centered problem solving requires the release of pre-conceived notions.
Give your inner judge a break. Let go of expectations. Stay curious.
