"It’s Not the Form, it's How I Meet It"

This one quote changes my life every day because it reminds me to own how I meet the day

Every second we make a choice how we react to life.  Rarely are we consciously choosing or taking ownership of our actions. We are whipped around by our thoughts and emotions which causes us to react based on preconceived notions. We get stuck spinning around the same story of blame, being the victim, or the “ I’m not enoughs”.  Which causes us to live in Groundhog Day, repeating the same behaviors over and over again.  Simply because we are watching the same movie we’ve projected on the movie screen of our life.

It’s time for a new reel in the projector of your thoughts.  Remember, you own the movie theater. You can pay the price of screening a movie every day that makes you happy, peaceful, gracefilled, kind and loving or watch Psycho whipping you around in fear, overwhelm, sadness, anxiety, and anger.

Which is why the mantra I learned from my mentor, “It’s not the form, it’s how I meet it”, helps me choose to stop when I become overwhelmed by life.  Take time to look at what I’m thinking and feeling. Understand that there is a lesson it is teaching me.  

Create a new daily routine.  Check in and listen to what is spinning in your mind or emotions and stealing your joy. Create new habits by committing to a daily practice with time scheduled to be still, listen to what is capturing your attention, write it down and look for the lesson it teaches.  Release your old patterns of reacting and create new choices that will transform how you live every day.

Remember always that you choose.

It’s not the form...what happens, what you are reacting to…

It’s how you meet it!

Choose everyday to be a lifelong learner and find one situation that you will meet with a new emotion and awareness
