Welcome to today's episode on Choices.Choices come in many shapes and sizes, and some are easier than others. So an easy choice is you go to the shop, your local supermarket, and you buy a tin of beans, but they're not your usual beans. You've decided to buy a lower value tin of beans. Now the thing is that if you take this home and you don't like them, next week can just go back to your normal beans. So this is a choice that is easily rectified. Now some choices are harder., let's, , take your current role, your job, the work you do, or your business and look at some different choices. If you're not happy in any of those things, is it because the people that you're working with, all the people that you're around, or is there just one person in particular? Now this can have a knock on effect to our, our standing within ourselves, our mental health, for want of better words. Because what happens is that when you get to your Sunday night, you get the Sunday night blues waiting for the dreaded Monday morning. Now that's a big choice to make around that whole situation. A simpler one is what you're gonna wear on Monday morning. Do you need some new clothes? Will that make you feel better? Get some power dressing, or are you happy with the clothes that you've got? Again, these are more simple choices. And then there's the harder ones as well where we're making a choice of whether we want to stay in a relationship or not, or whether you want to leave. Now you most probably love your family. There's something not quite right, but maybe you can't even put your finger on what it is, , but what that does.It gives us a choice to look at ourselves and to be honest with ourselves about where we are within that realm. So are you a yes person, somebody at work will always say, oh, it's okay that you will do something because you always do it because you want to help and be helpful. The thing with that is because you're the one that will stay late, you're the one that's always helping, is that when promotions come around, people find it quite difficult to promote you because you won't be there for them in the role that you're in now and they wouldn't be able to call on your help. And you make things easy for them. So what they will do is promote somebody over you that maybe hasn't got your skill set because that is easier for them and they will be able to manage that. So that is a choice that somebody has over us and that in itself gives you another choice. We're surrounded by choices. One thing a choice comes down to is individuality. How you feel about something, what you want in your life, how you want to be, what you want to do, and what you want to have. They are all choices. Now some people say we have free will choice. And I am one of them. I do use that sentence on occasion, but I use it when] I know the person I'm talking to is independent. And I don't mean whether you're in a relationship or not, or whether you're in a job or not.I mean that some people do not have free will choice because they can't just up and leave. They don't have a say in their circumstances. And it's usually because somebody is dominating them. And that's a very, very sad fact of this world that we're living in. So if you find yourself in a situation where you feel dominated and your choices are taken away from you, please, please contact somebody that you trust in whatever shape or form you can make that contact. It is so important.Please make that choice. It may be the only choice that you have, but please contact somebody if you're in this situation. And sometimes we feel we don't have a choice in what we're doing. You can't leave the job because people rely on you at home. You don't have a choice in the relationship because it would cause too much disruption. Your choice to leave a relationship would be too much for you to handle right now. And there are so many of these kind of choices around us. I know some women are unhappy. They love their partners, husbands, wives. They love their kids and their pets, but they are so unhappy. And a lot of the time they can't even put their finger on it. They don't know what it is. And that's what I call the silent situation, which quietly creeps on up and over us and around us over the years. But that again is a choice in itself. A choice is an opportunity for you to look within yourself, and see what's actually going on with your thoughts and feelings and choices without even thinking of making any changes. We tend to think of choices before we even think about what kind of change we're gonna make. So there is a lot of things to think about when you're thinking about choices, and even whether you wanna make a change.So your task today, if you care to accept it, is to look at a choice you would like to make in your life, big or small. Write it down, just a few words about it, and maybe journal some, some more things in a notebook or your diary around this choice, and it will help.Remember, ...
