Colette Baron-Reid: Make Up Your Mind.

Has this been a tough or easy week–maybe a little of both? Lots of energy stirred up as we move into the latest cycle of the season led by the ever-fair-yet-can’t-make-up-my-mind-really energy of Libra.

I don’t intend to write about astrology but I read a hilarious piece last week that depicted the confusion of planetary energies said to be the umbrella under which we’re all playing this week and I thought it fairly accurate. Indecision is to be avoided at all costs. Or should it?

This week the message is simple.

 

Make up your mind. Choose a path. Take a step. Repeat.

 

Up down, all around do a little dance and see if we moved forward?  Hmm… if not I wonder why? Hmmm… This next simple truth has been attributed to many smart minds in the past (Albert Einstein, Henry Ford, etc.) so why not make it your own…If you do what you did you’ll get what you got.

So if you want something better, do what worked over and over again, not what didn’t.

Repeat the good feelings. Practice them.

You know how to feel grateful. Do that and then take an action that will make you feel that energy again. Then repeat.

We are memory-based creatures and when indecision of any kind creeps in we all revert to a default setting that’s familiar. Make good things familiar.

Organize your thoughts on purpose. Make a list of when things worked out what were you feeling? Surrender? Allowing? Trust? Acting as If? Gratitude? Humility?

 

The Chair Exercise

(From my IN-Vizion Training for coaches.) It’s a great way to really get out of your head, and shift your energy without analyzing anything. You’ll need two chairs.

Chair # 1– sit in it – this is your “Dirty Diaper Chair” – where you can feel all the crappy stuff you are familiar with. Feel it – let the energy be real, in your body and emotions. Indecision, self-pity, poor lil ‘ol me, overwhelm, frustration, etc.

Now, when you’ve had enough move to the next chair.

Chair # 2– this is your “Successful Suzy Chair” – where you can feel all the feelings and remember moments when you rocked it out of the park. Yay! Loving life feeling right with the world, connected to Spirit. Let that sense of connectedness and trust permeates every cell in your body.

Ok, now stand up and look at the two chairs. Which one appeals to you more? Repeat sitting in that one. If you do what you did, you’ll get what you got. Right?

This week repeat the good stuff, and let go of all expectations and let Spirit do its thing.

Sometimes I just remember over and over how grateful I am and smile.

Eventually I have more things to be grateful for. Funny how that works!

So what’s on your repeat? Which chair did you prefer?

Did you notice the difference? 

If you do what you did, you’ll get what you got. (Remember this and repeat it to yourself as often as possible)

Loving you forever and always – why?

Because I can!
