We do have choices! Choice is defined as an act of selecting or making a decision when faced with two or more possibilities. It is a gift we have so many choices in this day and age, but sometimes it is overwhelming! Once again, we all are different so we go about deciding things in our own way. What motivates your decisions? Why do you make certain choices? Sometimes the answers are made based on deep psychology inside ourselves. But let’s make it more simple. This is the first step on how to make easier decisions. I like to put things in two categories: Knowing what you CAN and CAN’T change.
This is a list of a few things you CAN usually choose:
attitude
integrity
commitment/focus
how you spend your time
beliefs
responsibility for yourself
what you eat
fitness
behavior
talents
who or what you give your energy to
what you write, say and share
habits
who you love
you can always decide to do your best!
.
These are some things you CAN’T change, so don’t spend your energy trying to change:
past
laws of physics
who you are related to
weather
another person
.
Start off by putting your energy into the things you CAN change. This helps me delete some choices and make easier decisions.

When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Wayne Dyer
