Making Choices



 



Choices

Over the last few weeks, I have been faced with situations that spell out choices.

What do I mean?

People being tired, unmotivated, angry and anxious.

To explain this a little more, I will explain some of the situations that I was in.

For a long time, I felt all of these, when I had FEAR of making a decision on how to change my situation. I would cry why me? Why does this always happen to me? When will things change?

I was angry being stuck in a job that I did not enjoy, I was anxious because I wondered why my life was not changing, why was I always facing the same challenges. Why was I always scared?

I would give so much to people, wanting them to understand how I was feeling and always saying “yes” to people to make them happy or so they would like me or even one day do the same for me… That never really happened.

In 2016, I broke up from a relationship that affected me a lot, I was heartbroken, I had never felt such deep love. I was in such a low place; In December 2016 I remember watching a TV soap and thinking I can not do this anymore. I switched the TV off and unplugged it and put the TV in the corner of my room.

I started to make different choices

 

So how did my choices change?

 

I chose to acknowledge the part I was playing in my problems.

I started to explore why I felt the way I did

I learnt to say “Yes” to opportunities

I learnt to say “no” to things that don’t serve me.

I learnt to step out of my “comfort zone”


Here is a Ted Talk by Caroline Myss talking about the 5 Choices that Change your life

 

What did making these choices do?

I learnt how to be happy myself and not just make others happy.

I developed new skills to help others clear their emotions

I got new hobbies that meant I developed new skills

I got the confidence to believe in myself

My name is Jo Brown, I am a woman who is over 50, a mum to 2 sons and a well-being coach. I love the outdoors and the benefits that nature brings to you. I walk my dog Nala every morning, love hiking and I am currently training for the Pennine Way, canoeing, kayaking, camping in a tent or in my van and generally just living my life to the full.   My goal for the new year is to start a regular blog and share information that will support women over the age of 35  who are lost, overwhelmed and unfulfilled to achieve finding their best self, so they know what their values are so they can learn to trust themselves without feeling they have to live their life to other people’s values. The topics will include  various ways of improving your well-being.   The subjects the blog will cover are the following: Being Self ...

A weekend of adventure and fun

  A weekend of adventure and fun. The last 2 weekends have been full of adventure, fun and challenge. Meeting lots of new people who have met over the last 2 years on Facebook in a group that offers the spirit of adventure. This weekend it definitely did. A few members from the group set off to Keswick to join the Festival of Light that was being held on Saturday night.  I arrived on the Friday night at the YHA in Keswick (definitely worth a stay), started with a chill before the rest of the group came back from having a meal and spent time getting to know each other. When they came back to the YHA, we had lots of chat and laughs, continuing to get to know each other.  Saturday plans We eventually went to sleep, I woke at 5.30am and got ready for a day of walking, we had an offer of paddleboarding or a walk around Derwent Water a 10 mile walk. With my challenge in August of walking the Pennine Way, I decided the walk was for me. In the evening the plan was to walk to and ...

6 Human Needs

Image
The six human needs Tony Robbins identified the six human needs that we require to ensure we are motivated to fulfil and are the basis that we make choices are the following:   The first four needs are the needs of the personality also known as the EGO and they are needs that a human must have met on a daily basis. Certainty – A need for safety, stability, comfort, order, predictability, control and consistency Uncertainty/variety – the need for variety, surprise, challenges, excitement, difference, chaos, adventure, change and novelty These 2 are like a see saw and work with each other, if you get too much certainty, you will get bored and if you get to much uncertainty, you will crave a bit more certainty of predictability Significance – the need to have a meaning, to be special, unique, pride, needed, wanted, sense of importance, worthy of love and respect Love/connection – the need for communication, unified, approval, attachment, intimacy, to be loved by other ...
