Creator-based® Choice




 It was a rough morning.  This is what I heard as I listened to my inner dialogue.

  • I woke up tired.
    • Complained.
  • There was a glitch with the bills.
    • Worried.
  • My schedule changed unexpectedly.
    • Felt taken for granted.
  • More work piled up.
    • Felt a lack of control. 
  • My back hurt.
    • Worried about it escalating and having to stop and not accomplish all that “needs" to be done today.
  • I was forgotten by someone I love.
    • I was ANGRY!


After a nice lunch and some thought, I realized…

I didn’t want to feel any of it.

With each step, I resisted the feeling.

Resistance makes everything worse.


At any point, I can change my thinking, allow life to unfold, and accept what comes.


Clearly, some days are better than others.  Permission to be human, my friend.


I like this scenario better:

  • I woke up tired. 
    • Choice: Spent 3 minutes in loving-kindness meditation for an extra energy boost.
  • I had a glitch in the bills and chose gratitude for seeing it. 
    • Choice:  “I trust.”
  • My schedule changed.
    • Choice: “I wonder what good thing my Creator was bringing in place of my finite plans?” 
  • More work came in. 
    • Choice: “I am valuable. I am blessed to provide a needed service.”
  • Received an unkind comment.
    • That shows me what they’re thinking, “I choose to love them anyway.”  


It’s not about me. It’s about love and choice.

At any point in our day, we can choose back into satisfying, contented thoughts

and Create Happiness.


Here's to a great week!

All my love,

Beth

Creator-based® Consiousness

  Monday Morning Inspiration June 2024 |  EDITION NO. 00230 This made me giggle- we have so many choices and options that sometimes I forget that behaving “becomingly” is an option…. I hope you become what you want to be today. Do you sometimes feel like a 'woman without"? You may be familiar with the Bible story told of a poor widow bringing her offering to the temple.  It was such a small amount, a mite. It was not even enough to buy her bread and cheese for a single meal.  Would it really make any difference? Yet she was commended because “She of her want cast in all she hath.” Her society had defined her as a ‘woman without.’  She was a woman without a husband, a woman without means, a woman without a fancy house, but was she truly a woman without anything?    Do you sometimes define yourself as a ‘woman without’?   'Women without' = women without a job, women without children, women without the coolest phone, women without a great friend gro...

Creator-based® Coaching is born!

  Monday Morning Inspiration April 22 2024 |  EDITION NO. 00229 Hey friend, Let’s talk  Creation .  Paul taught the Philippians, “I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.”  That’s a bold declaration of the faith that Paul had in his omnipotent Creator.  Faith is the power that creates and moves  all things.  Now, don’t abandon ship here- this is not a Sunday School lesson.  Faith is what you used to turn on your lights this morning, remember?  Faith is what you used to start your car too.  You believed the light would turn on if you flicked the switch you wouldn’t have taken the action to do it.  I know you have faith. You’ve got this.     Let’s go back to the first step of that formula for creating your one, amazing life.  If you could feel something you really wanted to feel, what would that feeling be? I wanted to feel happy.  I thought I had put together my one, perfect, happy life....
