Good Decision-MakingAll her life, Michelle has created one bigger project or business after another. She used each of them to learn more about herself and to stretch her creative muscles. She was so focused on making her last business work no matter what the obstacles, that she didn't see she was veering off her own life course. What she thought was a failure to success was really a wake-up call to stop, look, listen, then make new decisions.
In the exercise below, give yourself the opportunity to consider if your decisions support your life. Inner-Strength Exercise:
How to swap out merchandise at your Decision Store. The choices in your life are as tangible as merchandise on a store's shelves. Your choices exist as energy thought forms within your spiritual self. You have the ability to discard decisions, invent others, take your time deciding which one is right for each relationship or situation, and so on. You can continually re-evaluate and make changes to them. This exercise has been simplified and shortened from the version you will find in the book, Hand Me A Wrench, My Life Is Out of Whack. On a piece of paper write down one decision you keep making that you would like to swap out with a better one. For instance, maybe every time you talk to a particular co-worker you find yourself deciding to talk as judgmentally about others as he/she does. That is a "product" you sell to this co-worker for some reason. Now, evaluate the ingredient list for this product and the percentage of each ingredient. For example: · Want her to like you: 70% · Fear she'll talk about you behind her back if you don't act like her: 25% · Kind of like to gossip: 5% Now, make a new product out of ingredients that support your vision of your life. Throw out the old product by ripping up the piece of paper you worked with or actually create a product symbol out of clay, paper and crayons, an old dish you can tear up, smash, etc. Have fun. |
