Emotional choices

Hello lovely people, I hope you're enjoying whatever you're up to and that whatever the weather the sun is shining on the inside!

What do I mean by that?

Well, I have noticed that the weather has such a huge impact on our moods.  I notice that people seem much happier when the sun shines, even if they think it's a bit hotter than they would like.  The sunny, blue skies and less clothing all help people's moods.

Now, I wonder what would happen if the sun only shone once a month. 

Would we only be able to be happy when the sun shines?

I have been considering this over the last few weeks and also thinking about how other people's moods effect how we feel.  Well, if everyone around us is feeling miserable, it kind of makes us either want to leave or we become similar to those we are around.  OR we can do something else altogether...

We can choose our mood regardless of the weather or what others are saying and doing, whilst remaining respectful to how others feel of course.

So.  What am I saying?

How I choose to feel is my responsibility.  I can choose to remain feeling happy whether the sun is shining...or not.

Something I'd like to share with you...

A very wise man once said to me:

"When you want something and you rush around in search

of it,  you become desperate and push away the very

thing that you wish for.

Instead, relax.

Be still.

Be quiet.

Be patient. 

Eventually, what you are looking for

will come

looking for you!"

This incredibly simple yet very powerful tip has helped me through many challenging situations.

          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~         

We live in very exciting times.

We have a great deal of information at our finger tips.

We can find solutions to most if not all of our problems at the click of a mouse...

We want things instantly, fast food, instant coffee, remote control television...

Speed dating!

Many experts are available at the click of a mouse to provide

us with the answers to our most challenging questions.

So much information and most of it conflicting!

So what can we do and who can we trust?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here's a short exercise to do while you are here.

You might want to take the phone off the hook and close the curtains for added privacy. 

Read through the whole exercise before starting...

Make yourself comfortable, either lie down or sit in a relaxed position.

Close your eyes and take a deep breath in. 

Relax. 

Release your breath.

Keeping your eyes closed and with slow regular breathing remain relaxed

Picture yourself experiencing your perfect day.

Paint your day with everything you would like to enjoy. 

Don't leave anything out!

When you have completed this short visualisation, you may want to write down a few things that came up for you. 

• Where did you go?

• What did you experience? 

• How did it feel?

The aim of this exercise is to help you to practise visualising and become comfortable

with being still, confident within and enjoy the moment you create. 

This is one step in the process of becoming a deliberate creator.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We seek answers from outside ourselves

When we develop self trust and self confidence

We learn that the answers lie within ourselves

So how do we find the great love of our life?

And do we have the patience to wait so we make the

perfect choice?
