This Week's Reflection
In this very moment, as in every moment, you are making choices, lifestyle choices, life-changing choices or, if you're neither tuned in nor present, you are making automatic choices which are, nevertheless, lifestyle choices too.
Over all my 28 years doing what I do, the reasons for which I meet clients or Online Program Owners for the first time fall into two broad categories which could be entitled: "I'm at a crossroads" or "I'm stuck".
The first, "I'm at a crossroads", is always, always true. Each moment of our lives presents us with a fork in the road: Am I present? If not, do I choose to be present? What's should I do? What's the right thing to say here? Every little thing we do or fail to do brings us down a new route - either onto life's adventurous highway or down a blind alley. And we when we do arrive at what we recognise as life's big crossroads, it is as a result of all the little highways and byways we've taken to get there.
The second category - "I'm stuck" is always false. Nobody's ever stuck, they just think they are and it is that thinking that glues them to the spot! Of course, when we do allow ourselves make automatic choices, we're always going to be rooted to that self-same spot because that's what our automatic mind does.
So, January 1st was not unlike any other day - it was, like today, a day full of nows, a day full of choices, a day full of new beginnings or a day of your life that you missed through not being there.
What choices will you make in today's nows?
This Week's Quick Tip
Deliberately choose, right now, to feel what it's like when you take this breath. Making such apparently small deliberate choices will get you into the habit of making choices deliberately.
That means, as you travel through this day of nows, you will begin to be aware of which way you're choosing to go as you are presented with each little fork in the road.
Choosing to notice how you feel when you take this breath is the wisest of choices right now.
