“Any choice made from freedom creates more freedom.”
James Twyman
Yet our choices are usually made from a place that is far from freedom. You can spot it in the language we use:
- I have to…
- I must…
- I ought to…
- I should…
Where’s the choice and freedom in that?
And freedom is, to a large extent, a matter of mindset.
Why do we set our minds to feel trapped and not free?
Could it be as simple as flicking a switch, to make that shift?
Yes!
I have lost count of the number of times I have used this technique with clients and it works every time – if they choose it to!
Here’s the secret:
Swap your ‘should’, ‘have to’, ‘must’ and ‘ought’ for ‘choose to’.
Try it out now – even with something mundane!
“I have to do the laundry.”
or
“I choose to do the laundry.”
Which one feels better?
How about shifting more of your choices to come from a place of freedom today?
