The power of Choice. Saying “I choose not to…” has a different energy than “I can’t afford to…” Using the word choice puts several things into action.
Choice empowers you, consciously and subconsciously. The meta-message is that you could choose differently. You may not hear this at the conscious level, but at the subconscious level, you do. This is how meta-programming works. You know, like the metatags on a website. You don’t see them when you look at a website, but they are there in the background making sure the site comes up for people (on search engines) whenever they put in certain requests or search terms. Your mind works the same way. It’s like embedding a metatag that allows that reality to come up whenever you put in the terms – what you are looking for.
Acknowledging Choice is being honest with yourself. We like to fool ourselves into thinking we don’t actually have choices, that some things we HAVE to do. The truth is that you really do have a choice. The choice may have consequences – even dramatic ones – but you are still choosing which consequences or results to have. Often you are choosing what appears to be the least painful, at least in the short run.
To tell yourself anything less is to put yourself in the role of victim – which, again, is a role you choose.
By not doing something you know would improve your life or your business you are, in fact, choosing to have your life or business remain the way it is. I know, this isn’t always pretty to look at, but if you choose to look at it for what it really is, the honesty will lead you toward a different choice. Sometimes that’s just what we need in order to make the shift.
Choice raises your vibration. By this I mean it makes you more of a match for what you DO want. Whatever you focus on is what you get more of.
Whether you want to define this as a metaphysical law, or the functioning of the human brain, the truth is that what you concentrate on is what you will notice more of. And the more you notice it, the more you are actually gathering evidence – data, even – that proves you are right. Read the rest of this entry »
