The invaluable moment of choice

Have you ever done something that you really didn't want to do or say something you really didn't want to say? We all have had those times when we have used poor judgement or made questionable choices.

Our author makes a statement that i believe would serve us all well. She states, "Awareness of consequences is key to conscious living". What if you could see the result of your actions and words before you made them? Would do or say something different?

It may be a good practice to pause before you act and ask yourself if this action, word or deed is in alighment with your stated values or the way you want to be.

. Without laping into regret, is there something that looking back you would do differently now that you know the outcome of your choice? How can this learning serve you in the future? What can you do to help you pause before acting?

Well, make it a valuable day,

Rev. Sylvia

  1. Yet another great tool provided by this book: STOP in mid-flow, mid-mood, mid-word. Awareness of my thoughts and then Choosing not to take an action shifts the power back to me.
