Choose Again

Every day we have choices to make, and we get to choose how we react to people and situations. Sometimes we choose good, and sometimes we don’t, even though we are trying. We are human. It can be hard. It is hard. When you are pulled in several directions, when someone doesn’t make you feel good, when you are tired, overwhelmed, unsure or not feeling your best….all of this affects our choices, and how we react, but…we STILL have a choice, and we DO have control over our choice.

No matter how we feel, how someone makes us feel…we get to choose. In that split second, it IS our choice how we react, or what choice we make. THIS is where we need to pause. Before we react, pause, and breathe, all before choosing. Try to take a second before reacting, before choosing, especially when we aren’t feeling our best.

If your mind is going to the wrong place, you get to choose again. YOU get to control your mind. YOU get to tell your mind how you want to react and feel. I know this is hard. I know all too well. I am deep in this struggle right now.

IF in that split second, our choice, or our reaction, is not what we hoped, not how we would’ve wanted to react, then Choose Again. Pause, and choose again.

If your mind begins to judge, envy, or take something too personal, take time to choose again. When you get frustrated, angry, or aggravated, pause and choose again. We have the choice to choose again. Choose love, over anger. Choose love, over frustration. Choose to find the good, over finding the faults. Choose to soften your heart, rather than harden your heart.

It has become so easy in this world, to choose to harden our heart, judge, get aggravated and find faults. I know how easy this can be. I feel it often. This world has become busy, overwhelming, uncertain, anxious and left us constantly feeling like we aren’t measuring up. This makes it even harder to find understanding, patience, and acceptance. THIS is what I want to find. For this, I pray.

I love the message of choosing again. Our mind is going to go to the wrong place sometimes….I should say many times. Before reacting, choose again. Let’s make our mind choose again. For this, we WILL be grateful.

This can apply to so many situations in life.

Choose again. Another great message for our kids.

Thank you for this message this morning Gabby Bernstein. I can’t wait to read your book Judgement Detox.
