The choices we make today alter the direction of our lives.

In life we have so many choices to make. And the question I always worry about is if I am making the right choice? Is there even a “right” choice? Not necessarily, but there is a choice that will bring us closer to our goals and one that won’t. Even seeming little choices can really impact our life especially if it is something we do everyday.

First, we have to get clear on what our goals are or how we want to live our lives in order to know if the choice will move us toward or away from the vision we have. There are many ways to do this and programs that can help to get you clarity. Mindvalley has a course called Life Book which goes over all the different areas in your life and helps you to create that vision. You can also write down the key areas of your life and start thinking about what you want them to look like ideas include Career, Health & Wellness, Financial, Spiritual, Relationships etc. This then is your road map.

Next, it is important when faced with a choice to ask yourself the right questions. The right questions will guide you toward making choices that will support your vision for life. Do you focus on short term rewards or long term happiness. These are taken from The Right Questions by Debbie Ford which I highly recommend- it’s a quick but powerful read!

“Will this choice propel me toward an inspiring future or will it keep me stuck in the past?

Am I standing in my power or am I trying to please another?

Will this choice add to my life force or will it rob me of my energy?

Does this choice empower me or does it disempower me?

Is this action an expression of someone who honors and cherishes themselves?”

In those moments when you have a choice to make - use these questions to help bring clarity on the the choice that will move you toward the life you envision. I hope this will help you in making any big and even small choices in your day! 💜
