Life is a journey full of choices
Life is a journey!
It sounds simple right, not a unique thought. Im sure it has been said time and time again.
The real question is, how do you want the journey to be for you.
It really is all about choices we make. Again, not a unique thought, but is a critical one.
This past week, I thought was a blunder of a week. I thought I had set the intention of having a free, flowing and productive week, managing work, life and exercise whilst hubby was away. I set the intention and made the choice at the start of the week. Or so I thought.
At the end of the week I was exhausted, as most working parents tend to be when they are juggling so many different roles.
A wise person said to me ‘you created all of that, you realise’. There were choices you could have made during the week that would have led to a more flowing and productive week. Like for instance, re-evaluating all of your priorities for home, work and exercise. Allowing the dots to join resulting in the realisation that, yeah I could of probably said no to that at work, or reschedule it to next week.
There really is no task too big that cant be re-prioritised. Unless of course it is a life/death situation.
Not one of my priorities was a life/death situation, thankfully. So why did I not have the free flowing and productive week with my family and work and exercise that I had intended?
Ill tell you why, because I slipped back into my dysfunction of needing to be ‘the helper’, ‘the fixer’ the draft horse that feels they have to drag everything for everyone.
Stuff that!
We are all powerful people, capable of making our own genius choices, capable of so much more than what we think. We just seem to either not acknowledge it, forget it or ignore it. All are choices.
Now extrapolate this out into my life, not just last week. I find that holy crap this is a pattern. Why didn’t I see it happening. But even when I was aware of the pattern and thought I had ‘dealt’ with it or that I was clear and staying in my desired end result - but holy shit batman I was wrong.
Life is a journey and the best bit about it is that we can choose how that journey goes and where we would love to end up!
Self-awareness, using own intuition, and genius are masterful tools that we all have. Everyone!
Sometimes we just need to be remembered we have them.
As a coach, I don’t have all the answers, but I do love a good journey and can walk with you on yours and remind you that you have all the genius answers, within. You just make the choice to look and observe.
I too am on a journey and I am choosing everyday to be self-aware and anchored into my own genius. Whatever that looks like on the day!
