I Always Have a Choice

I always have a choice. 

I look for the love gratitude in every situation. 

I know seemingly steps backward are opportunities to grow. 

I find the redirection in rejection. 

I see dis-ease as an invitation to focus on self care. 

I celebrate my sensitivities and full range of emotions. 

I believe I have control over my actions, reactions, my outlook and my attitude. 

Everything is happening for me, not to me.

All of that being said, I also fall off the wagon and stray from my path. 

In the past, I strayed far and fell hard. It took me a long time to process and get back up. 

Now, I know what works for me. 

I know that it's only temporary. 

I use my tools and bounce back. 

At times I give into the pity party. I get out all my complaints, my why me, my why now and my I don't have time for this. 

I release these feelings from my body, because I certainly don't want them to stay. 

So I express my emotions. 

Rant and rave. Cry and scream. Moan and groan. Curl into a ball. Slap a pillow around. Write it down and burn it up. 

Let it up and out. 

I empty myself. 

I surrender and pray.

Then I return to my breath. 

Center and ground. 

I talk to God. 

I may take a bath or a nap. 

I listen to healing music. 

I see protective light swirling around me. 

I feel Divine light entering my crown chakra and filling me up. 

I choose love. 

I choose forgiveness. 

I choose gratitude. 

I always have a choice.

Can you relate? I'd love to hear how this resonates with you. What tools do you use to both empty and fill yourself?

Big hugs, Empath loves. You are not alone in this. 

And... it’s time to rise. Thanks for letting me fluff your wings as you do. 

I love you! I really do.
