So many options to explore

There are so many options available in all aspects of life – with purchases, life directions, careers, relationships, actions, attitudes and approaches however often choices seem limited and we become locked into language of there’s no other way, this is my only choice or this is what I have to do.

To recognise this is only 1 of your options and know there are others, can be very empowering.

Often we remain in the option that keeps us in our current situation; there seems to be comfort in familiarity.

However when this comfort is outweighed by the discomfort of negative thoughts, overpowering emotions and general dissatisfaction, it is a signal to seek other options.

This may read easy to make the shift ‘against the grain’ and away from what we know however it takes energy, effort, courage, humility, support and more to actualise.

If possible have fun with it. Use a light hearted approach to identify limiting patterns or resistances. We all have them. It becomes an opportunity to get to know them and yourself better then make some decisions.

A useful perspective is to acknowledge that you are not alone. There are others seeking the same thing and others prepared and wanting to help.

A major step is in the reaching out, talking, disclosing, being real and honest, then accepting the support that will help to break the cycle.

Who is the support person in your life?

They may already exist or it may be your mission to identify someone.

Choose wisely; it may be a person you least expect. There are no rules.

If this is where you sit today, locked in some discomfort, reach out, seek other options and support and see how it feels.

A better life quality can begin with a small change.
