All day long, we make decisions. Sometimes we do this consciously, but most of the time we don't. We decide what sort of mood we'll be in. We decide what sort of response to make to situations and people in our lives. Then we experience the results of those decisions.
When we don't realize we are actually making decisions, we start to believe we are at the mercy of other people and situations. That's when the trouble begins! "So and so makes me so mad!" No, we decide to react with anger to what someone does. There's a huge difference. In one case, we get to own our lives and in the other we give away our power.
Most of the time our decisions are made so quickly we don't realize we made a choice! The only way to take more ownership of our decisions is to be more aware, pay more attention to our responses and reactions. It's really fun and empowering to notice when you are making decisions that you don't like because you can change them on the spot if you want to do that.
If you are at all sensitive to other people and their energies, I think you'll discover that right now is the perfect time to make conscious choices and decisions. It is very easy to get caught up in the unrest, anger, and fear that is floating around in the air right now and make decisions made on that instead of making them based on how you want your life to unfold.
Try this for a day if you would like to make some new decisions so you'll have new outcomes. Be the witness of your life as you navigate through your day. Notice when you seem to slide into decisions rather then make them consciously. Then ask if the decision is the one you really want to make. If it isn't, make a new one and move on!
