The Power of Choice

I think, I feel, I choose.  Recognize and claim the power of choice in your life. To recognize the connection between what you think, and feel and the choices you make. To be more conscious.

After a number of lengthy conversations on the phone with a friend and colleague about change and choice and all that I have been sharing in this blog, along with my very own daily ups and downs in this time of transition, I realized the choices I've been making equal my experience and my results. I think X, I feel Y and I choose Z. I know all this yet, sometimes it's hard to do the math!  

We attract by default the life experiences that are appropriate to our unconscious programming, somewhere along the way I decided that this is the way it's going to be, "that's the way life is" mentality. If we begin to bring positive concepts and thoughts into our minds, these positive images begin to take hold and change our circumstances.  Often times we get too attached to circumstances and the outcome. Create more space for the experience and when you ask with genuine wonder, your normal mental process will shift, allowing for something new to occur. 

We are always getting what we want, we manifest it in our intentions - you get out what you put in. We interfere with ourselves and get in our own way.  By being more honest with ourselves and with others creates a positive energy around us and we come into alignment with our heart. Negative thoughts create sabotage and keep us from moving forward.  We have absolute control of what we think, feel and do, and the choices we make determine our experiences in life!

Recognize your choice; go through a week and simply label your choices. For example: I choose coffee.  I choose to take a break.  I choose to go to the gym.  I choose to focus on my writing, instead of watching TV or talking on the phone. As you go through your week identify situations that were not that satisfying - things you wanted a different result from, conflicts or things that did not end the way you wish they had.  At the end of each day, write yourself a note. When_________________________this happens, I think_____________________________and feel__________________________and the choice I make is____________________________.

Notice how often you choose and how you choose. Don't try to analyze, just be a good observer. If you journal your observations you will end up with a clear example of your process and that will help you make better choices and useful changes.

Even I am learning to be fully conscious and more self awareness. I will try to align my head and heart, be committed to self and others and allow it to happen. Know my triggers of self-sabotage.  Be at choice with my life.

If you don't choose life someone will choose it for you ~ go out and create your own experience!
