Know Better – Choose Better – Feel Better
The last steps are often the ones most celebrated – those that close a chapter, complete a vision, and lock in an accomplishment.
And while those moments deserve the clink of glasses & the flight of confetti, I wonder…
Are we missing moments where that celebration could be less of an ending & more of a momentum maker?
Our brains are amazing. Capable of more amazing things than we can possibly understand. They’re also capable of much we do comprehend, not all of which feels so amazing. For example, take the amygdala. While feelings of anxiety & a triggered state of agitation are things many of us deal with, there are ways to combat it.
I value choice – the openness of possibility, the power of weighing multiple options and selecting my next steps accordingly, the thrill of analyzing the paths ahead and stepping forward toward the horizon I’ve determined, the excitement behind intelligent risks made possible by a wide variety of viable solutions, the knowledge that the next best move is only as limited as my own creativity – to an extraordinarily high degree. Within me, choice = freedom.
