How to go from Tunnel Vision to Perspective
From
Tunnel Vision
the experience of anxiety, stress, frustration, grief, anger and sadness.
The 8 Facets of Tunnel Vision
- Attention gets grabbed, compelled, or given over
- Lessens your self-control
- Lowers your awareness
- Make you suggestible
- Causes reality to mix with your imagination
- Exaggerates your sense of self
- Warps your thinking and beliefs
- Confuses the past with the present
To
Perspective
the experience of wisdom, irony, humor, compassion, love, peace, and profound gratitude
The 8 Facets of Perspective
- Attention is open and inclusive
- Your self-control is heightened to spontaneous
- You are more aware of what’s happening
- You are more objective, less gullible
- Your imagination is separate from reality
- You have less to no ego with which to screen life

The SatoriWest Method© consists of 5 points
The “Human Condition”
From the very beginning, we face waves of life crises and struggles that take a toll on us. We accumulate negative feelings, even though we often distract ourselves from them. This is called, “the human condition.”
Tunnel Vision
We don’t realize it, but the actual reason why we suffer in life is not because of what happens to us, how lucky or unlucky we are. It comes from survival wiring in our brain that warps our mind. This is called, “Tunnel Vision.”
Perspective
There is an incredible aspect of our human brain that allows it to know itself. This self-awareness is the core of what it means to wake up to how amazing each moment really is—giving us wisdom, natural good humor, and a love for life, etc. This is called, “Perspective.”
The SatoriWest Journey
To go from Tunnel Vision to Perspective requires your brain to shift how it pays attention. We call that BrainShifting.
There are three ways BrainShifting happens:
- Recognize your Tunnel Vision (it has eight sides) when it shows up.
- Practice the skills of BrainShifting (starting with mindfulness). We can teach you.
- Allow your brain to BrainShift on its own by giving it peak wellness in these spheres:
- Physical
- Mental
- Social
- Organizational
- Moral
- Existential
Crises as Opportunities
There is an irony built into life and the SatoriWest Method: the more you suffer, the easier it becomes for your brain to find great and even profound Perspective. We’ll show you how.
