Hey Guys!
As I highlighted in my last post, the power to choose is the strongest force we have to change our lives and our situation.
Because the power to choose is solely our own!
It completely belongs to us.
True others may try to influence our power to choose, try to sway our decisions with a plethora of techniques, but ultimately, the final decisions regarding our own lives are in our own hands. And that in itself is a powerful concept. Your are in charge of your thoughts, your emotions, your reactions, your words, your actions. They are yours and when you begin to take full responsibility for them that gives you the power to take the helm of those thoughts, emotions, etc, and either lead yourself to where you really want to go OR perhaps if you see the need seek out help from friends, family, or professionals should the need be that great.
As Bill so accurately pointed out, we wouldn’t hesitate to go see a medical doctor if we had a medical problem so there is no shame in seeking out the assistance of a good qualified counselor either. That’s what they are there for!
Why do I address this in a series dedicated to Holiday stress? Well, YOU have the CHOICE to let the many negatives that MAY be surrounding you now to overcome the normal joys of this holiday season. I encourage you when you feel the urge to let these negative emotions take over, to simply realize at that moment, YOU have a CHOICE to be overcome by the negative you can choose to enjoy the holiday fervor. That power lays in your hands. No one can take it from you!
So enjoy the holidays! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
