3 choices that can change your life


Choices are key to all of our lives. We make more choices than we realize. Everyday, moment to moment. For the best outcomes, I rely on 3 activities that I continue to engage in regularly:

Being open: Choosing to be open is about learning how to be secure enough in yourself to go with the flow. Learning is a life long duty. Being open allows for learning to take place. It is a learning choice. For openness to work for you, you must know when you are getting tense and starting to close yourself off. You must raise your awareness of how you are present.

Taking quiet time: the most popular way to carve out quiet time is probably meditation. I do prefer this method and I also literally can use a moment without noise. A moment with silence, without movement, without reacting to anything around me. Quiet time is about listening out for any messages that may arrive within you. For me, this is done successfully with training the mind to silence the many other voices and focus on the one I know I need to listen to.

Trusting yourself: Our biggest obstacle can be ourselves. It is up to you whether you choose to drink the water or not. Trusting yourself in how you respond and what choice you make. No one knows yourself like you do. No one else feels what you feel. No one else can make decisions for you. You get to choose and can make a choice in all situations. Going with your instincts and overwhelming feelings usually lead to the best outcome.

Now there is more awareness surrounding your choices, will you drink the water or not? It is always up to you. Gain confidence in your choices and how you arrive at them.
