The Best Tip to Decide if you're making the RIGHT Choice

Our lives are made up of our choices. We make simple choices every day! 

 But sometimes we have BIG decisions that seem to carry a lot of importance in our lives. 

 We believe that in these decisions, there is a RIGHT choice and a WRONG choice.

 And when we have to live with the results of our choices for a long time, we can feel so stressed about it that we stay stuck in indecision.

 Being undecided is a very stressful place to be most of the time and feels awful.

 So how can we know when we choose something, that it is RIGHT for us?

 Here's a great tip and the best one I know of when making decisions.

 IF YOU LIKE YOUR REASON FOR DOING SOMETHING, then it's usually the "right" choice.

 IF YOUR REASON IS BASED ON SOME FORM OF FEAR, then usually that's where you should re-evaluate and choose differently.

 So much of the time, we allow our fears to dictate what we do in life. When this happens, we are usually not as satisfied with our choices. 

 Spend some time writing down your possible choices and reasons why you would choose that. Are they based on fear? or do you like the reason?

Black Lives Matter...my take on the movement.

Image
Here is my take... Black lives matter! For sure. I love my black friends. They are wonderful people and they matter to me so much!! It is not in my nature to be part of a protest and so I have refrained from joining a group in the street, mostly because of the feeling of violence and hate that can be in those settings. The feeling of division and fight is not something that I am comfortable being around. So I share on my blog instead. You know what I know? I know that Jesus Christ loved and welcomed all people. He walked through Samaria. He blessed the Gentile woman who begged for His help. He dined with those who were haughty and humble. He saw each one as worthy of His love. I am trying to be like Jesus Christ. I know that I am a white woman living in a mostly white community. I know that I may have prejudices, and I'm trying to discover where I may need to change. I sincerely want to love as Jesus does. I see a need for change in our world. I listened to two con

Reset button...Now What? Here's some ideas

Image
If the world had a reset button, it could be named COVID-19. Modern living has become very efficient. We are blessed with so many conveniences. But then COVID-19 comes and removes all sports, vacations, schools, dining out, movies, shopping, work (for some), visiting friends and family, and even going to the dentist, what do we have left? We have our families and lots of time. Hasn't there been times when this is what you wanted? A chance at doing nothing for a while? In reality, we are not made for stagnation. We are made for progression. Here's a few interesting questions to ask yourself to help you not be stagnant during this time: With so much being taken away, what is one thing I've thought of doing someday that I could try now? (Don't say I don't know. Make your mind find an answer. Or ask yourself, what if I did know?) What is one really great thing I can be doing with my time right now? What could even be better than that? Answer these

3 Steps to Stop Being Annoyed

Image
Our brain memorizes emotions. It likes to follow patterns of habit in thinking so much that it can actually take over our conscious thinking and plant ideas in our minds that reinforce those habitual emotions. For example, one young woman I was coaching kept telling me different things that had made her feel annoyed.  Being annoyed was her memorized emotion.  Her brain was following the habit and finding thoughts that would reinforce the emotion of being annoyed. Some of us are worried, anxious or overwhelmed... frustrated, impatient or judgmental. Some of us have these and we don't even realize they are memorized emotions. So how can we overcome our memorized emotions? Step 1: Recognize your memorized emotion.  Realize that it has been a pattern of habit for your brain that you don't want to continue. Step 2: Resolve to put on a completely new set of intentional emotions.  This takes some time, but I really want you to envision yourself with the new set of emotio
