Decisions; to make or not to make!

rWell not to make a decision, IS actually TO MAKE a decision.

Maybe it's just not the right time.  Maybe I need more information. Maybe I need to wait for my stars to line up or for Mercury to get out of retrograde. To wait until the Fall, or after I lose 20 pounds, or after I clean out my closets (both real and metaphorical). It may be smart to wait until I get that promotion, or have more money?

Or maybe it's that I need to move out of a space of "fearing the unknown", and move off the " sticky dot" with courage and anticipation or even , whoa...… "excitement"! Maybe it's time for ME to act upon MY feelings and needs and to stop waiting to "see what happens". Maybe I need to be PRO active for a change. Stop being a spiritual wimp, and go for the growth that changes always bring. Geeez, maybe I'll even feel lighter and relieved after I make this decision. Wow..... I could even feel HAPPY! OMG, am I really going to feel THAT emotion, yikes.... It's been so long that I have felt really light and happy. Been carrying around way to many "Undecided" thoughts that are just aching for me to let them GO...…….. 

But that means ….. taaaaa  daaaaaaaaa; MAKING THE DECISION.

To Decide means to cut off from all other options. If you decide to drive north, you are not going to be driving south, east or west. If you decide to eat spicy noodles, you will not be eating bland, mild noodles. If you decide to go to the beach you will not be at the movies, and if you decide to marry person "A" you will not be marrying person "B", (at least not usually, lol.... if you catch my drift.)

I made the decision in November, 2017, to have my second full knee replacement. It is a decision I felt I had to make. I finally had enough "information". (I was in severe pain, was limping, and had no other option, unless I opted for a wheel chair, (which, I DECIDED, was NOT an option for me at this time!)  That decision was frightening for me because I already KNEW the recovery would not be easy. And, it has not been. I am still recovering. Still walking very cautiously and still not feeling the strength and support I need to feel. Still not really trusting.  But, I had to make that decision.

It is amazing how one decision, even ones we think are small, like "Should I drive home the back way or the main way?" can have an enormous impact on our lives. The decision to do the surgery has brought about lots of growth for me in that I have had to deal with developing even MORE patience that I have already had to learn! This decision made me think even more deeply about my purpose in life at this time and how I want to spend the years I hope to have left. It was a tough decision that held a mirror up to my physical human frailty and ultimate mortality. (Just even going into a hospital means letting go of control over your body, and allowing people you don't even know to put you to sleep and cut into you...… holy COW! And, then of course hoping all goes well and you wake up in an improved condition!)

This experience impresses upon me how important it is to make wise decisions about all areas of our lives. To be introspective and assess clearly what we are feeling about our lives, our health, our careers, our mates, both platonic and intimate, our use of our gifts and talents, our dreams and desires.  Are we paying attention to what life is "mirroring" to us? Are we learning how to decide what or who should "GO" and what or who should "STAY" in our lives? 

I believe it is very empowering to TUNE IN to ourselves often, even often during the day, and to TRACK what we are really feeling and knowing deeply but sometimes trying to repress, ignore or minimalize.  Noticing the truth about "what is" can be a real wake up call and frightening at times. Wondering if we have the guts, courage, strength or know how to decide against something that is no longer serving us. But, what happens if we decide NOT to be active, alert, alive in our lives?   Then, we are actually giving up our power and letting our Unconscious decisions create and determine the outcomes. THAT, is not a good idea. 

When I am working with a client, I am helping them to tune in to the truths of who and what they are and to support them in realigning to their JUICE, the FLOW of Life, their true connection to their creative gifts and their ability to consciously create "the life of their dreams". It's not crazy to believe you can be happy and fulfilled. What is crazy is to keep putting off making decisions that CAN make you happy and fulfilled. 

Would you like to learn how to pull out those metaphorical "WEEDS" of fear, limitation, and belief in dated teachings, put on your Empowerment Shoes and start walking on the Divine Path to your new life? I would love to help you :)!
