HOW TO MAKE LIFE CHANGING DECISIONS - A SUGGESTION TO HELP YOU

We are conditioned to fear change; but if we don’t make change happen, we will continue to get the same results. Not only that, but it seems apparent that nothing lasts forever, and change is always, therefore, inevitable at some point, and in different areas of our lives at different times. Some of this fear is inbuilt, I feel, to give us protection against change that may be destructive for us to go through; but likewise when we are being destructive to self with the way we are living, then we need to make the life changing decisions that are necessary for a wide spectrum of things from our happiness, to saving our own life. As I have mentioned in one of my previous articles, I faced cancer myself twice, and discovered that this is not necessarily a life sentence of death, but can be a wake-up call to change some things in your life that may not be serving you best. This is, of course, a radical way of these things being brought to our attention, and it is much better if we can see some necessary changes before this stage is reached, and listen when your body says, Wake Up I Need Your Attention! All research is pointing to the fact that Mind and Body operate as one, and what affects one, affects the other. Hence, the most important place to start is with our Mind.

The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it is open! So, open your mind and think differently. Allow yourself to think from a different perspective, a different angle, a different paradigm. Begin to win the battle in your mind, because this is where the battle is fought. The mind is the leader, or forerunner, of all actions. Likewise, our actions are a direct result of our thoughts. You need, therefore, to think about what you are thinking about. If you can have a dream in your mind, (where you obviously think about it), then this is the beginning of the changes, followed by the actions that enable you to start living your dreams. If you remain ‘bound up’ by your thoughts, it will be impossible to change. If you think negative thoughts, you will have a negative life.

Let’s examine this for a moment. Ellie Drake told us on her last training call all about not fighting our negative thoughts, but accepting that they do appear and then gently saying, “It is what it is, and what’s next?” The mind cannot hold two thoughts at the same time, so it is no use berating ourselves for having a negative thought or a thought that may not serve us best sometimes. We can learn to recognize it, though, and gently replace it with a positive thought that will turn the previous one around. When I first began to learn about thoughts and their effects on our lives, I used to be afraid to have a negative thought and, believe me, that is “hard work”! So, learning to gently replace the negative thought pattern with a positive one allowed me to remain ‘relaxed in my humanity’. In fact, I am even learning to smile at myself when I think this way, a huge improvement on the old me. That is because you also become more accepting about the things that you cannot change, and begin to gain the wisdom to know the difference. Somewhere I have read a prayer about that. You begin to trust the process.

Please remember, this information is only a suggestion based on my own journey of learning. As I continue to learn, I will share my thoughts with you, and maybe you will share yours with me.

My personal mission statement is:-

‘to meet each person where they are at and offer them something to help them get to where they want to go',

So wherever you are in your personal journey God Bless and remember be willing to make a change – change your perspective – change your paradigm – keep the mind open –make some life changing decisions - begin living your dreams - and have joy in the journey!
