“I choose to live by choice, not by chance; to make changes, not excuses; to be motivated, not manipulated; to be useful, not used; to excel, not to compete. I choose self-esteem, not self-pity. I choose to listen to my inner voice, not the random opinion of others. I choose to be me.”
― Miranda Marrott
We make choices every day – what to wear, what to eat, whether to exercise or not, who to interact with, whether to socialize or go home and rest. Often the patterns of behavior are so deeply embedded in our mindless reactions that we fail to realize we may be acting in conflict with our own authentic truth… Conscious choosing keeps us aligned with our soul and makes our choices genuinely what is in our highest good.
Tips for making more conscious choices in your life:
- Be aware of your habits – examine how many times in a day you decide to do something out of habit. One simple challenge to bring awareness to our unconscious choices: drive a different way to the store you always go to or take a different route to work – notice how it feels to choose differently!
- Many choices are dictated by external influences and may be in conflict with your inner truth. How many times do you choose based on what others think rather than what you know is in your best interests?
- Check in with your intuition, your heart and your thoughts on any choice you are about to make. Breathe inward and let your breath find its way to the authentic within you.
Breathwork is the powerful tool to clear and open channels to your inner communication. Keeping the lines open to your authentic self takes breaking through the obstacles that impede access to a crystal-clear decision.
Be in your power, Be in your breath
