The Power of making Conscious Choices

I had No Choice!

I hear that a lot, it is amazing how limited we think our choices are, in fact. So many of us believe we are stuck in situations, that life has simply led us to the place we find ourselves. Then we realise we didn’t sign up for it. We can find ourselves trapped in a corner. For example, we can find ourselves in a job we hate, we can stay there for years, because we believe we don’t have a choice. A staggering 85%? of us hate our jobs and as many wake up feeling bad.

Did you sign up for the life you are living?

We may wake up in a marriage, with kids and mortgages and think, “how did I get here?” We have the capacity to stay stuck believing we don’t have a choice for years. It is no wonder we suffer from anxiety, panic attacks, eating disorders, alcoholism, drug or other addictions. These are coping mechanisms for the despair and depression we deeply suffer.

There are reasons we believe we don’t have choices, that life just happens to us. After all, we just have to look at the state of the world and think, “what can I do?”

You are not alone. It is most difficult to ignore our current results, when that is what we have always known. We don’t know how powerful we really are. There is a simple solution, however!
