Contemplating Choices
Choices. Our lives are full of choices. It is impossible to do a day without making a choice. (But what if I just stayed in bed all day? I wondered. Well, you would be choosing to stay in bed, now wouldn’t you?)
I have been facing a lot of choices in my life recently and I can’t help but feel a bit flustered about them all. A lot of what I choose now will influence who I become as a person, what my husband and I are able to do in the future.
It’s probably not as melodramatic as I make it out to be, but it certainly feels like it at the moment. Alas, no one can make the choices but me (and my husband in some cases).
What are some of the choices you have made recently - big and small? How do you go about making choices? Do you discuss with people? Make a positive/negative list? Go with indecision? Decide on impulse? What is the most difficult thing you have had to make a choice about? Who is the first person you (would) talk to when making an important choice?
Remember, to help clear your mind before you start writing, take a few deep breaths. Focus on the sound of the air entering and leaving your lungs. Let the noises and worries of the day fade for a few moments while you focus only on breathing.
After you are calm, think about your experiences and start writing.
Wishing you heaps of creativity, a generous muse and heaps of time to write.
