Disillusion.

I once asked my cousin how they lost so much weight. The response I got was “it was all in my head”. (Now I realize this isn’t true for all people but this was true for them.)

We walk around making choices from unknown places. Making comments like “well my parents did it that way” or “I have no other choice – it’s just the way I am.”

We plant ourselves deep in the ground of internal choice not realizing we can change the choices. Our branches can in fact grow out of the cages we have created. Our roots can expand far greater than the 6 feet we’ve given ourselves.

You can in fact make a choice. To sit on the couch and watch tv or read a book – there is a choice. Whatever you shame yourself for, there is alternative option… you just need to choose it for yourself.

Poor choices are wrapped in illusion. An illusion that there is only one way to be.

If you were to choose today, what would it be? Would it be taking the opportunity to rest or getting that 45 minute work out in?

There is no wrong answer so long as you are making the choice for you.
