By acknowledging that you have a choice and the
role that choice plays in your life, you shift
your energy to a more powerful space.  The
choices you make a play a vital role in what you
actually create for your reality.  When you move
through each day on autopilot, doing the same
things each day it's easy to get stuck in a rut.
By recognizing the simple choices you make each
and every day as a point of power, you're more
alert to the possibilities shimmering just below
the surface of the hundreds of choices you make
each day.

Focusing on the every day choices requires that
you stay in the present moment. The present
moment helps quiet the mind chatter, the
comparisons, the past guilt, and the future
worries. Unplugging from the past and
disconnecting from the future allows the space to
be here now in this very moment. As the millions
of people who tuned in to the Eckhart Tolle and
Oprah Winfrey A Whole New Earth web casts can
attest to it's simple, but definitely not easy.
The results are life-changing.

When you are able to stay in the moment and make
your choices from that place.  You're making a
stand for your values. It honors the things that
are important to you. Seemingly meaningless
choices like driving a different way to work so
that you can see a beautiful garden honors beauty
in your life; Eating the broccoli instead of the
french fries honors health and vitality in your
life; Making the drive home with your kids a no
iPod and cell phone zone honors communication;
Saying no when you really do not want to do
something honors your time and space.  These
every day, often unconscious, choices have the
ability to mold your reality.  If you place a
high value on peace and mindlessly watch violence
on TV every night you're not directing your
energy where your intention is.  In other words,
you not putting your money where your mouth is.

The shift to consciously choosing is a gradual
one given the number of choices we make everyday
it would overwhelming to try and do it all at
once. This is one area where baby steps really do
add up. By taking small steps consistently you
can completely reshape your life. Are you ready?
Can you commit to being conscious about one every
day choice this week?  Watch for the shift in
your reality; notice your energy level, how
you're interacting with others, and how you're
feeling.
