CHOICES

In this article

You have the power to enjoy your life.

It’s not people or circumstances that determine your happiness; it’s your attitude and thought process.

You may say to me, “Well, it’s not my fault that I struggle with depression and can’t get out of the house”. Or, “it’s not my fault that I have certain fears due to what happened to me when I was a child”.

And I would agree with you that it is unfortunate that bad things happen in life sometimes, but you don’t have to get stuck there! You have the power to choose your thoughts and actions. You have the choice every morning to either get out of bed or stay in bed. You have the choice to allow the negative statements you heard growing up to be the dominant voices in your head. Or you can make the courageous choice to put new positive statements in your head.

In my practice, I see many people who feel stuck and can tell me exactly why they are stuck and whose fault it is.

Their stories are filled with heartache and pain, and I can appreciate why they feel the way they do. But the good news I like to leave with my clients is that they don’t have to stay that way. I love watching the “light-bulb” go on as they realize they can be in control of their life story. They do not have to stay a victim. They can come out victorious! The choice is theirs, and the choice is yours!

If you can relate to anything I’ve shared and feel ready to start making positive life choices and break free from feeling stuck, I would love to meet with you and walk alongside you.

Many people remain stuck simply because they don’t yet have the skills to move forward. Through Bayridge Counselling Centres, I can share practical, life-changing strategies to help you create meaningful change. Call today to begin your journey.
