There are so many choices that we make throughout our day, seemingly so why do we often get a sense that we have little to no determination over our lives. One would assume that in a world where we have so many choices at our finger tips that we would derive from it a sense of mastery or direction?
I do not like GPS, I am not a big fan of being told by anyone what to do much less a voice that is generated through an electronic current. So often I will force my will on traffic patterns meaning that avoid them and i go the ways that i am aware of or instinctly appear correct. All of this to the dismay of my wife who does not enjoy my antics. As I look as the way I handle traffic I can derive a couple of things one is that I avoid conflict, you say how? Well I would rather take the long way and add to my trip than to sit in traffic and be faced with an inability to control the situation. The other point that I derive is that I would rather do what I know than to ask for help, so then the paths I choose fall primarily upon what I know.
As you look at your life, how many thing do you because of habit? Are you satisfied with where you end the day? We make so many choices out of habit and comfort, yet we so often feel that our choices do not make an appreciable improvement in our lives. This sense is because the appearance of choice we typically do what is comfortable which leads us back to the same destination in our lives. The process of changing our habits is very difficult, we developed many of our habits out of cause and effect and they worked at the time to give us a sense of control
and direction. As we look at life and how it and we change, we must understand that the tools of improvement and satisfaction of yesterday maybe more destructive than productive at this time. In my field we talk about praxis which is more or less a feed back cycle so with our world and choices that we make we must be in process of assessment and reassessment of the way we manage our lives, mental health, relationships, and time. The only way that we are going to end up at a destination that offers us a sense of fullfillment is to identify the choices that we make daily that may lead me to the place more closely resembles the place I want to be.
Creating a path different than you are accustomed too is going to take awareness and intentionality, so be prepared. The change may include time management, the way that you think, the patterns of interaction with people around you, and the management of emotional expression.
