What are you choosing?

What are you choosing, deliberately choosing and saying yes to?

At any moment, you are deciding. Deciding to write a blog over making that call, scroll social media instead of planning your day, tea over coffee, eating breakfast or not.

It is estimated that an adult makes more than 35,000 decisions per day. WOW, all day long, you are saying YES or NO to doing, feeling or reacting.

Constantly choosing (consciously or unconsciously)

I talked about choices recently as part of a three-day event in my Facebook Group. Explaining how you’re making decisions and choices all day, behaving and acting in a way that may or may NOT be in alignment with your deepest desire or purpose. Choosing to:

• Push forward or pull back, hide or be visible.
• Stay fearful or take the next step
• Remain where you are or trust yourself
• Do your most significant work, make the biggest impact or NOT!

Too easily and too often, I see entrepreneurs making decisions that result in them returning to their comfort zone. And yes, while this might be safe, it’s anything but comfortable.

It’s where you feel frustrated, overwhelmed and stressed, where success remains out of reach, and you remain stuck. Resulting in you returning to old habits, doing more, chasing the goal, pushing towards the thing you desire. NOT allowing it to be easy. Or you choose something incredible BUT then act in a way that does not align with what you want/are choosing. Let me explain, using time and money.

Time in Abundance or Running Away from You

You decide to experience an abundance of time and make this decision as you throw back the duvet and get up.

Then start running around like a wild crazy thing, throwing clothes in the air as you search for your favourite item from the wardrobe, shouting at the kids ‘come on, times ticking’ and acting like a woman (or man) with no time at all. Resulting in you spilling coffee down your favourite top, skipping breakfast and arriving late for your first appointment.

When making a choice, you must act in a way that aligns with that intention; otherwise, you create a counterintention – the opposite of what you want.

Money Flowing In or Away from You

You’ve been writing in your journal, repeating in your head, ‘money flows to me easily’.

But check your bank account with fear in your heart, worrying there’s not enough. Then, a bill lands you weren’t expecting, and now your children’s toes are escaping their school shoes (and they weren’t yesterday!). Resulting in you feeling anything but rich, and the tightness across your chest increases in pressure. So, you yell obscenities at the Universe and cancel dinner with the girls because ‘you can’t afford it’.

You wanted money to flow in, but you created a counterintention and more of what you don’t want.

Do you see how easily you can undo good intentions?

This is because you still operate within a framework that doesn’t serve you. You haven’t yet done the inner work to create a new belief system, and I say this from experience. I’ve realised that, yes, you can write and say positive affirmations and change the way you think, but it’s a bit superficial until you do the more profound work.

Like saying you’ve done your homework but only written a short paragraph – it’s NOT enough. The teacher was looking for more, and inside, you knew this but wanted it done so you could move on. So, you could say, ‘done it, look at me, aren’t I great’. NO, you’re not because you’re doing yourself a disservice. Okay, so the homework example is something I see in my house and frustrates me, but it’s the same in business. You will remain on the roller coaster of push and pull until you realise this.

Do you want to explore how to consciously experience success and an abundance of time, money, and clients? If so, book a Discovery Call. Together, we will explore what is holding you back. If we’re a good fit and you’re ready to leave behind your old belief system, I will present you with a way of working with me.
