"Every day gives us an opportunity to either open up, or shut down, and that the most precious opportunity presents itself when you think you can't handle whatever is happening. So if, in that moment, you can train yourself to open up instead of shutting down."
Pema Choedroen
Choice, it all boils down to the choices we make each moment. How to react to the challenge that found its way into our lives because of past thinking, how we react from now on, is our choice and only ours.
Of course, there are moments to be angry, and I do not suggest that you pretend you never are, but use anger instead, as the signal, that change needs to be made, and adjustments need to be done.
Your choice to react by repressing, or compensating with food, or any other destructive behavior, is not constructive. I do not need to point that out to you. But instead, I want to give you an option, of taking any opportunity, may it be a loss of a job, or a struggle with weight, to change your view of how you would confront the issue.
Will you shut down and hide, or will you take deliberate action? Will you whine or will you ask specific questions on how to learn from that moment? If you choose the later, you will have the opportunity to grow, any even if you might encounter another time a similar situation, you will have new tools how to deal with them.
You have then learned, you have grown, and then, realizing that all moments are opportunities to learn from, situations will loose their power, and fear will melt away.
That is when you are ready to co-create your life.
Have a wonderful day!
