Life hands us many situations where we are left to make a choice. The choice we wind up making usually comes from a place of emotion. It very well, more often times than not is the reason why we make poor life choices.

I have learned to “sleep on it”. I have also learned that it may take more than a night’s rest to decide on something very important. I am a woman of impulse! I believe it’s one of the things I have to work on in this lifetime. I think we as humans do this because we let our emotions run the show. Humans are emotional. We all have many different phases of what we are feeling throughout our day. Imagine if we based our choices and decisions on our emotions?

I’d be jobless, homeless and divorced. Just saying! (Wink)

I know you have been waiting for this—here comes some hard core truth and my life lessons when dealing with stressful situations.

Recently, I have learned a heck of a lot about myself. One major thing that I have learned is that I am very quick to let my emotions run the course of where my life decisions are headed. I am also erratic when making decisions and a bit too impulsive. I hide it very well. Unless you are someone who knows me well, you wouldn’t know this at all. I have also learned that I am filled with anxiety. The anxiety is coming from a place of fear. My recent life changing event switching over from being an entrepreneur my whole life to a full time 9-5 corporate chic taught me this.

So. Where did I decide to change? It started with not making decisions based on my emotional state. I started doing a check-in on myself. I have become my own therapist and life coach by allowing myself to overcome every struggle with ease and grace in everything I have faced over the years. Because, here’s the thing; We are human navigating life in a very spiritual world. Humans aren’t just balls of beautiful energy, we have egos too. Navigating life as a human is one of the most difficult tasks we have  all came here to conquer. It’s one of the reasons we chose to come back. We have lots of life lessons that were not fulfilled from the life we lived in before this one. Life can be pretty darn stressful!

Life doesn’t have to be so stressful though. A lot of our stress comes from hanging on to things in the past. It can even be something from the day before. We overcomplicate life. We think too much. I learned this as well, the over thinking part of life. I made a mistake at work last week. I was beating myself up over it so badly. My boss knew that and  said something to me that will stick with me for life. She said, “You made a mistake, it’s over. This is how we learn. Forget about it and move on. Once we hang on to things we shouldn’t-that is where we cause drama.” It’s that simple, huh? Yes, it is and it can be. It’s up to us to decide whether that is true or not.

Many of the things I have learned in life came from the experiences I have with my children. I am a Momma to five amazing souls who came here to fulfill their own lessons in life and de-program their karmic loops. I feel very strongly that we are all here overcoming different aspects in our lives that we may have been through before. We all get another chance to re-do life! It’s an amazing concept if you ask me. All of my children are on individualized paths and I get to watch them grow. They are watching me grow as well. I make sure they all know that. It makes the journey interesting. Let’s try to stress less and live more through our experiences and truly live the life we love and love the life we are living. There’s always a way to flip a stressful situation into a beautiful life-long learning experience! There’s very few things we have control over in life. Our emotions and the way we react are the two main things we do have control over. Choose wisely.

Until next time…

Love & Light, Always!
