Description
In this episode, part 4 of this series on how to heal and own your story, I am sharing some thoughts on how to own your choices. The irony of this topic is not lost on me, the name of this podcast is Own Your Choices Own Your Life, in case you forgot what you were listening to, and it is not ironic to me that it was the words choices, own your choices, radical responsibility that changed my life. I love that without knowing it years ago, before I had a business, that I named this podcast by this title. This is a mantra that has shifted everything for me.
So far we have unpacked the process of healing and owning our past and owning our emotions, and this episode we are talking all about owning our choices.
In this episode we discuss:
1) What does the word owning and choices mean, how can we unpack them and see that we are and how we have living these words in our life. Words can have different meanings and depending on where we are in our journey it makes a difference. Words can be triggering or expanding and it reflects where we are in our journey.
2) By owning all of our decisions, that might feel like a lot of responsibility, but we can also take back a lot of our own personal power. Set reasonable goals, interrupt your patterns that are not serving you, flip the script, be kind and compassionate with yourself. Create a mantra to interrupt your pattern and disrupt the thought process. The faster you can catch yourself and disrupt the pattern or flip the script the faster you can create change.
3) Create a mantra to call yourself out on your own BS when you are not living up to your own choices.
4) Recognize why you are making the choices you are making. Is it to impress someone else? Is it to meet the expectations for someone else; to not disappoint someone else, as a people pleaser, or a martyr. Ask what your choice is? Allow yourself to make a decision or choice and know that you will make mistakes, but this only gives you feedback to make a different choice next time.
5) Go internally, ask if your decisions are actually moving you in the direction of what you want to create in your life?
