A Simple Question to Help Change Habits

“Everything in your life is a reflection of a choice you have made. If you want a different result, make a different choice.” -Unknown

Recently, I began to ask myself a simple question when making a choice, “Does this (action or non-action) help me or hurt me?” I have started using this technique for most choices I make during the day. From things as simple as putting my laundry away now or later to do I want to go to this event, to what do I want to eat or do with my day.

If the answer is “help me,” then I have the green light to move forward freely.

If the answer is “hurt me” sometimes I then choose differently. However, being a bit rebellious person, sometimes I find myself wanting to continue on the path that I have determined will “hurt me.” My next question is then, “is it worth it?”

I am learning to love myself. Someone who loves herself does not do things to hurt herself.

Namaste.

Writing out my thoughts has helped me to gain a new perspective of myself. In sharing these writings, it is my hope to help others to better understand themselves. It is my belief that with each of us who chooses this path of greater understanding of thy self, that it inspires others to do the same. This building momentum is the force that drives me to share, for in my vulnerability, I find my strength. I believe that you can also find yours there. ~~~In reading some of my posts, you will see that growth is not always pretty. It is in breaking apart and coming undone that a seed sprouts and breaks free of its own captivity. It is also out of mud that the lotus blossoms. ~~~Please join me in seeing the beauty of growth within the deconstruction of our limiting beliefs. ~~T.C. View more posts
