Who is in the Driver's Seat?
Who is driving your life? Have you ever asked yourself this question? Who is influencing what you do, what decisions you make and how you live your life? Are you making decisions or taking action according to someone else's set of beliefs? Or are you fully connected to the here and now and fully present in your own life going where you want to go?
These questions are important to ask yourself when you find yourself dissatisfied with the way your life is panning out.
When I was younger I realised that I did not have any clue about what I wanted to do, where I wanted to live, I didn't know which company I wanted to work for or what career path I wanted to follow, I didn't know how I wanted to decorate my house....and when I did know what I wanted, if a significant other wanted something else, I would give up what I wanted and do what they wanted.
I realised that everyone close to me was driving my life....I handed it to them on a platter and just tagged along. Then, when I was depressed about what I had in life I could blame them. Then I decided to take my life back!
The first thing you need to do before taking your life back is to be brutally honest with yourself and make a list of all the times when you allow someone else to make decisions for you....do you always let your partner choose the movie? do they suggest somewhere to go and you want to go somewhere else but say okay to their idea without saying anything about where you would like to go? If you just make a note of all the times you abdicate your authority over your life you will have a better chance to change.
Once you have an idea of what you are doing and the real impact it is having on you then you can start slowly deciding things for yourself and speaking up when you are asked what you want.
Awareness is the first step to getting back in the driver's seat of your life.
In love & light
