What Will You Choose?
ByWhen was the last time you gave yourself permission to choose something different in your life?
The past few days have been really intense. I’ve been feeling unsettled and questioning a lot of things in my life. I’ve been asking myself the question- Am I really happy, or am I just pretending to be?
If I’m honest, I have to say that my life has not been feeling all that Kick-Ass lately. Admitting that makes me feel like a bit of a fraud, since I’m supposed to be the one teaching you how to create a Kick-Ass Life for yourself. Part of me feels like I always need to be on top of my game and a shining example of what a Kick-Ass Life looks like. I’m supposed to be positive, inspired and totally rocking it out all the time.
That is so not my reality sometimes!
Sometimes my life feels really difficult. I go through rough spots just like you, where I doubt myself and my choices. Things don’t turn out the way I plan, and I have to deal with the disappointment of it. I put pressure on myself to achieve so much, and it can be exhausting to keep up with it all.
Can you relate to any of that?
When I start feeling this way I always bring it back to the basics. I ask myself –
“How do you want to feel in your life?”
“What would be better?”
I entertain the idea of giving it all up and doing something completely different.
I do this to remind myself that I get choose what I want in my life. I’m not a victim, and nothing is happening to me. I am the source of my experience and I am in a place of choice in every moment.
I make my choices and I move forward. I re-align with the things I want in my life.
Then everything starts to feel better.

Life is difficult for me right this very moment. Or better yet, a particular area of my life feels difficult and I have been feeling very short-tempered. I am trying not to inflict myself on others, and by that I mean; if someone says something tactless I will TRY not to automatically give out the verbal Smackdown. So far so good! I also am talking with the person whom which I have an issue, that has been feeling challenging as I tend to feel nervous and anxious. I don’t like feeling nervous OR anxious! But I continue the talking because it feel good to know where I stand even if I don’t hear what I’d like to hear.
So what do I do when life gets difficult, apparently feel pissy and problem-solve
P Working on that feeling pissy part right now.
