Life’s Choices and Decisions Are Yours to Make
There are always choices and decisions being made.
According to multiple sources, human beings make over 30,000 choices A DAY. That is a lot of choices.
But for the most part, you don’t make them consciously. Let’s face it, if you did, I think you’d probably go mad. Thirty-thousand-plus choices, per day, add up fast. That means that in a 30-day month, you make 900,000 choices. Hence, per year you’re making more than 11 million choices.
It’s a very good thing that so many of the choices you make are automated. Again, I can’t imagine 30,000+ choices a day wouldn’t drive a person mad. However, just because most are automatic, by rote, routine, or habit, that doesn’t mean that they’re not all up for grabs.
In other words, life’s choices and decisions are yours to make. All you need to do is become actively consciously aware to take control of them.
Recognize and acknowledge the levels
When you get down to it, choices and decisions come in four sizes. Yes, there are more than that, but to simplify matters let’s use only four.
They are big, medium, small, and seemingly insignificant.
Big choices include major life-changing things like marriage and divorce, moving, college education, bariatric surgery, and the like.
Medium choices include big purchases, vacations, buying and selling stocks, and so on.
Small choices include stuff like choosing what to wear today, where to go to dinner, the route you take from point “a” to point “b”, etc.
Seemingly insignificant choices are the most rote, routine, and subconscious. This includes choices and decisions about when to get out of bed, scrolling social media, what you eat and drink, how you brush your teeth, what tabs you leave open on your browsers, and other seemingly insignificant matters.
Nothing you choose is truly insignificant. Because they’re so numerous, they’re far more important than we often credit them for.
No matter the size of the choice in question, you can decide to make it consciously. Conscious awareness is how you recognize what your choices might be, and the options available to you. From there, you can make new choices, no matter what, how old they might be, their size, or the level they exist at.
Life’s choices and decisions are yours to make
When it comes to being consciously aware of choices, most people focus only on the big and medium choices. That’s where most people decide they must assume control because of the impact those choices can have.
While they are impactful, they’re the tip of the iceberg. That’s because below the visible are the small and seemingly insignificant choices. They are the base structure on which the medium and big choices are based and made.
This is why when you diet and focus solely on losing weight, you’re more like to yo-yo and get frustrated than succeed. Wonderful, you’ve chosen a medium or big thing – to diet. Great idea if you are seeking to get healthier overall.
However, the reason behind any need to diet is built on the small and seemingly insignificant things. This includes choosing where and when to eat, how and when to exercise, how much water you drink, how much you move, and more. Even deeper than that, largely among the insignificant things, such as how you feel when you’re eating (for example, do you eat more when you’re depressed?)
The choice to go on a diet is not going to produce the desired result if you don’t address small and seemingly insignificant choices. Ergo, taking these rote, routine, and habitual things and becoming consciously aware of them. Once you’re consciously aware, you can apply mindfulness to act on them.
Mindfulness puts you in the driver’s seat. You can use your knowledge of your thoughts, feelings, actions, intentions, and approaches to alter your choices. The power is wholly yours.
How is this a matter of positivity?
The Universe is made up of energy. Everything from the smallest subatomic particle to the largest star in the cosmos is comprised of the same energy at its core. Energy has a frequency that it vibrates at. Lower frequency vibrations are negative while higher frequency vibrations are positive. Then, like attracts like.
Hooky spooky bullshit? No, it’s true that everything is energy and that like attracts like. The reason why I’m certain that low-frequency is negative and high-frequency is positive comes from experiences in my life. Whenever I’ve felt down, sad, unhappy, frustrated, and the like, my energy felt low as did my overall being. Conversely, whenever I’ve felt up, excited, happy, energized, joyful, and the like, my energy felt high as did my overall being.
I also know I don’t want to attract more things that feel low-frequency but desire to attract more things that feel high-frequency. Have you experienced that, too?
Your choices and decisions factor into everything you do. Big, medium, small, seemingly insignificant, and everything in between, you have the power to use conscious awareness and mindfulness to choose. That can change your life for the better.
Unfortunately, you live in a fear-based society disempowering you at every turn. False notions of lack, scarcity, and insufficiency are bombarding you to believe that you can do little to nothing to take control or make useful choices and decisions.
Nothing could be further from the truth. You have the power. Taking a positive approach is a choice you can make to see through the bullshit and use choices and decisions on every level to assume control.
The choice is quite literally yours.
Seeing how life’s choices and decisions are yours to make isn’t hard
It’s all about practicing mindfulness of your thoughts, feelings, intentions, and approach to direct your actions.
When you recognize and acknowledge that no matter the size, the choices and decisions in your life are yours to make, you can act on that and use mindfulness to consciously, knowingly make more as you see fit. Knowing that the seemingly insignificant and small choices are the root of your medium and big choices and decisions, you can mindfully take control of more of these to reach the outcome that you desire when making those medium and big choices and decisions.
This empowers you, and your empowerment can empower others around you.
Consciously choosing your approach to life towards positivity or negativity – from the vast cylinder that exists between them – shifts life in a way that opens more dialogue. With a broader dialogue, you can explore and share where you are between the extremes and how that impacts you here and now.
Choosing thoughts, feelings, actions, and intentions for yourself employs an approach and attitude of positivity for realizing amazing potential and possibilities for your life.
The better aware you are of yourself in the now, the more you can do to choose and decide how your life experiences will be. When that empowers you, it can spread to those around you to their empowerment.
