Episode Notes

What does the word choice mean and how does it affect us in our lives? 2-year-olds throw a temper tantrum when they feel like they don’t have a choice. They’re feeling less than powerful at that moment.

“I feel empowered when I know I do have a choice. Regardless of what the world throws at me, the situations that we’re experiencing right now… at times I feel less than powerful, but I get the opportunity to own my own power and choose my steps at every moment.”

If we can add some curiosity and some laughter to this game of life, it would help us to make different choices. Recognizing that we have a choice in every moment, can be empowering, but also daunting. We are so pounded with stimulus every moment. Our brains cannot handle that to make second by second choices consciously.

Am I afraid to have these conversations? Am I choosing to be busy? Ultimately – what do I want? What do I fear? We’re all worthy of having our needs met. Be vulnerable to say what you really want, to speak your truth, and to do it in a loving gentle kind way.

What kind of world would it be like when we have life as our primary answer? No matter what happens love is always the answer.
