Choose to Make a Different Choice

During one of my meditations a week ago, I was thinking about the fact that I had been stuck with one of my projects once again, and was trying to find answers. The project is the short story I wrote a while back, and I have been adding to it and editing for several months now, as I intend to publish it this year. During the meditation I sought answers of why this was happening. I asked why I was procrastinating and not working on it, while time was passing and I wasn’t making anything happen.

I didn´t receive clarity on the reason, but got something much better. The message I received was to start making different choices. Instead of dwelling in the past, and regretting the wasted time, I could make a different choice in this moment and in every moment that  I feel like what I intend isn´t happening.

It is so simple, and yet for whatever reason, it is forgotten. I wrote a note to myself as a reminder: in this moment, make a different choice, and move forward. I´m happy to say that with releasing the need to know the “why” of my stuckness, I was able to go through another round of editing the short story with much more ease.

What projects have you wanted to pursue but have not worked on yet? What different choices can you make now? How can you shift? Remind yourself that all is needed, during a moment of awareness, is to choose to make a different choice, and then act on the new choice.
