Wake Up And Take Back Your Power

IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP!
A few years ago I was teaching a relationships class and I asked the students to check in with what they noticed about the energy of a challenging relationship and then about a relationship that seemed to flow with ease.
As the students shared what they had noticed a fascinating thing happened. Every single student referred to the challenging relationship as the “bad†one and the relationship that flowed with ease as the “good†one even though I had never used the words good or bad in setting up the exercise.
When I brought to their attention the words they had used, most of them were stunned. They were unconscious to the fact they were even doing this.
This is known as the Goo of Unconsciousness. It is like being face-down, asleep in the Goo. When you aren’t conscious of the decisions you make and the choices you make, you give up the power to design your life.
Ask yourself where are you stuck in the Goo. What is keeping you from being aware and engaging in the choices you make? Whether it’s what you are going to have for lunch or how you reply when someone asks “How you doin’?â€Â Every choice matters.
This is a waking up process. It is how you start to wake up from the Goo of unconsciousness and take your power back.
Play with it. Have fun. This is kindergarten – there are no wrong answers. It is about exploring.
