Time to Choose « Nature Spirit Coach

My friend Pete and I were having a discussion yesterday about the importance of living your life in each moment fully, and just how to achieve it. My comment was that its of paramount importance to realize that, with every new thought or action which comes to you, you have a choice whether to allow your mind free rein or to change that pattern and consciously choose your thought forms. If no choice is made, the mind takes over, as a sort of default program, and leads you on with its agenda, which is usually comprised of a fear based future reality or some past problem. My feeling on this is that the mind was not designed to take on such a huge responsibility, and it freaks out, running its agendas , almost without our permission. To even have the realization that we have a choice is a big step towards cultivating inner peace and harmony in our thought forms. We can choose to allow our higher self, or spirit to guide us just by gently redirecting our thought patterns and forms . Make the choice now…….. I am interested in your thoughts on this one.

I am of the belief that your thoughts are what create your life and your future. If you think negatively you will get more negativity. (gee Eve, maybe even if you focus on a negative thing your horse does he might do more negative things-what do you think?) So to have a happier life it all starts with your thoughts. Plus I believe that world situations can improve or digress depending on the thought patterns of the humans in this world. So, being positive not only helps the individual but also the world. Your thoughts attract to you what you focus on. We know someone who worries about hitting deer when driving. He sees a lot of deer in a long commute. Each day he was affirming how he was concerned he would hit a deer. He got to the point of saying, out loud even, “I wonder if tonight will be the night I’ll hit a deer.” Well, in the last week he has hit 2 deer. (gee, I hope I don’t hit a deer now after telling this story.)

Wow, Cindy the deer story is such a great example of how our thoughts become our reality so easily. I feel the energy has shifted substantially in these past few years so that now this is accomplished much quicker than in years past.

Making the choice doesn’t need to be a matter of discipline, either. Just realizing that you have that choice starts to shift the energy away from the automatic reaction response of the mind. Heading , in each moment, towards the place where you just feel good, making the “feel good” decision, brings you to a much easier, happier place . Sometimes, just shifting that vibe will get you there.

The mind does tend to run amuk doesn’t it? I loved your description Eve that this life is too big a show for the mind to rule.
Truly aren’t we blessed! Nothing cheers me up more than to remind myself spirit is at the helm! And when I remind myself of that I instantly remember there is choice with every breath.
Way more fun to be chosing my reality for the day than shoes. And I so agree, we are getting more of a handle on this and shifting quicker. Years ago I was attending “spiritual” classes and it was a big deal just to be told yes you are spiritual being. Now adays we seem to have more ownership and more accountability.

Love Leslie
