Ten Choices to Make When Life Feels Stuck!


1.  Choose your feelings
We have the right to choose our feelings and which of those feelings will take our attention. Acknowledge, name, and observe.
2.  Choose forgiveness for others and yourself
Learning to forgive does not mean  “It’s okay what you did to me” or  “I have no right to be angry.” You forgive the person, not the action.  In forgiving you are         taking the power and declaring, “I will not be a vessel for this ill feeling any longer.  I will not carry this anger in response to your actions.”  We must also learn to forgive ourselves for past mistakes. “We don’t make mistakes -- we make experiences!”

3.  Choose to let go of anger and resentment
It’s natural to feel anger and even resentment at times.  However, it’s not natural to carry those feelings around and it stops our lives cold when we do.  We must acknowledge the anger, give it a name, let it go, and move forward.  By holding on to these dark issues we give it power and control. Letting go takes back the control and opens your heart and soul to receive.

4.  Choose the present moment opposed to the past or future
The present moment is all we have.  Everything else (even as you read this) is one second in the past and one second in the future.  By focusing on what happened to you in the past means you remain living in the past.  By anticipating what will happen to you in the future,      you are grasping at what may or may not happen. By learning to be present in the moment, you begin to experience life more fully and see the beauty around you.
5.  Choose your thoughts to direct your life
This teaches the Universal Law of Attraction i.e: like attracts like; positive attracts positive.  If you put out positive thoughts you attract positive situations, people, and opportunity.
6.  Choose your soulful self over your physical self
The soul remains intact regardless of what happens to our physical bodies.  The blood and flesh are mere packaging.  No matter what circumstances we endure, the essence of who we are remains intact. You can choose to reclaim that essence. Don’t let your physical capabilities or deficits define who you are!
7.  Choose where you hold your power
Learn to center your energy on your inner self, and be mindfully aware of where you put your attention. Choose positive energy over negative energy.  Learn to let go of situations and people if it is not for your higher good.
8.  Choose to trust your inner self and create balance in life
We hold all the answers within to resolve situations, create what we want, and manifest what we need. We need to pay more attention to information, feelings, and the intuition that comes to us when we have asked for help.  Usually we aren’t listening. Learn to follow your instincts with confidence.               
9.  Choose to expect and receive abundance, prosperity and happiness
Once we are in balance, we can expect to have all our needs met.  We are worthy of              having abundance of love, money, happiness.  We must ask for what we need and want            and then be sure we do not sabotage our requests with negative thinking (fear based    emotions.)

10. Choose to discover your life purpose
We come to earth with a purpose; this life purpose is different for everyone. It can be from being a gardener to being famous. Often circumstances (tragedy) will move us to find this purpose. We must ask, trust, and follow.  When you find it -- you will know it. You feel  it.  Living our life purpose brings us joy and harmony!
