Life is just passing by, faster and faster, the feeling of not going anywhere but just surviving day to day. Do our choices, the little ones we make every day, contribute to these feelings?
My dreams were fading into the background and daily life seemed to be like quicksand, sucking me in. I had a roof over my head, food on the table, but my life seemed to be consumed by the chores every day and not the creation of my dreams.
I helped a friend on her farm, after her farm sitter had an emergency. I took an hour to two hour every day to go take care of her farm. Guess what, my life went on, my chores got down, I am not even sure what I missed during that time away. That means, the choices I am making every day, could be made differently to use that hour or two differently and put that time towards my dreams.
But, that came back to, "How to make better choices?". I knew I had time that I could work with, I knew my main dreams, I knew the steps I needed to take to get closer to my dream come true but was that really enough?
There were a few pieces that I was missing. First thing I had to do was make the decision to make better choices. That was more challenging than I thought. The decision meant that I would have to do it. No excuses, I had just proved I had the time. The decision meant that there was only one thing holding me back from my dreams, and that was my mind. My heart was where it needed to be, but my mind had to follow along.
To get my mind where it needed to be, I needed a process. Something in writing, that I could see, that I could look at, that would give me the answers to all those excuses I create. Once I had the process (if you would like to have a copy of the process I used, click here), I had to put the process into action.
I have good days and I have not so good days, but now, I can measure how I am doing on making better choices. This gives me the ability for the last step. CELEBRATE. Even one new choice, celebrate it. The more celebration and joy that you can bring into your life, the more you will want to create those great feelings.
