Discover Your Clear Moments of Choice
'Honestly, the older I get, the more my 'stuckness' sticks to me. In the past, I marched on oblivious to direction or obstacles. Lately, I'm permanently poised mid-step. I need a kick in the behind!' TMR
What's happening in your life right now? Has something happened that has your attention or are you reacting to something that has recently happened? Perhaps like my friend, TMR, a few years back, you find yourself stuck--'permanently poised mid-step'.
When life piles up, its easy to find yourself stuck--forever bouncing between challenging experiences and reacting to them. If you fail to sit quietly and take a moment in response to confidence-lowering experiences you'll miss your clear moment of choice allowing you to go confidently in the direction of your dreams.
Where is this so-called moment of choice? It's in the in-between. If you sit quietly, you'll discover a space of time exists between when something happens in your life and when you respond or react.
Something Happens---💓SPACE OF TIME💓--Your Response
It is within that space you have choices. This is where your window of opportunity lies, and that moment in time when you're able to chose your attitude and actions going forward.
To discover your moments of choice and confidence:
💓Calmly Practice the Pause💓
When Life is Tough, Slow Down
When something seemingly bad happens, or life just isn't going your way, it can send you into a tailspin of emotions that freezes you in fear and self-doubt, causing you to skip over that crucial moment in time where your ability to choose exists.
When life gets tough, the question you need to ask yourself is 'how soon can I move out of the fear that has me poised mid-step back into having faith in my abilities to go confidently in the direction of my dreams?'
It's only natural to respond to threatening
situations with fear and self-consciousness. We all do.
The way to go confidently in the direction of your dreams despite experiencing hardships is for you to calmly and consciously 'practice the pause' in times of challenge. Only then will you open to that moment where you confidently retake the reins and decide on your next steps.
Sit in it!
Sometimes the world knocks you a blow. To function at your best, you need time
to just sit in it after you've taken a hit to
lick wounds, feel anger or sadness, and to acknowledge the
injustice of it all. You need time to clear the cobwebs of fear
from your mind so you can move on to creating a more productive and
empowering perspective.
To go confidently in the direction of your dreams despite obstacles, practice stilling your mind.
'To a mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.' Lao Tzu
All Things Seemingly Good or Bad Work in Your Favor
There's no way around it: If you hold on to bad feelings after something happens, you are the only one who is affected by those bad thoughts and feelings. Why allow those people or negative experiences to continue to control your life and emotional well-being after they've disappeared from your life?
Put yourself in the driver seat instead. Sit in
your emotions without taking action until you can still your mind. Then calmly
allow your mind to move toward the mantra 'all things seemingly good or
bad work in my favor'. The more you recite this to yourself and others, the
sooner that space of time where you have choices will open up to your full
view.
