Life is full of choices.
Be aware that you have a choice.
If you feel helpless or victimized, you may not realize that you’re making an unconscious choice.
The first step is to make the unconscious choice conscious.
For example, if youre unhappy at your job, you may be choosing security over happiness.
Recognize that as a choice and remember that it’s possible for you to always change your choice.
Question your choice.
When you question your choice, you could simply be curious.
Pay attention to what hurts and what feels good.
Dont attach to even finding an answer.
Notice when fear is taking the lead.
The Small Self is terrified.
Surrender your decision.
It does not trust that we live in a universe where the soul can make its own heart-felt choices.
It can help to practice the art of spiritual surrender.
Surrender your decision to the divine.
Ask your soul to help you make your decision.
Then, be on the lookout forinner and outer guidance.
Ask for help.
Be present and look for signs.
Spiritual guidance is everywhere, but often we miss it because were not paying attention.
Once youve surrendered a decision and asked for help, be on the lookout for signs.

Trust your intuition
Intuition hits us in a few different ways.
Some people just know (claircognizance).
Some people get visions (clairvoyance).
Some people hear a little voice in their ear (clairaudience).
Pay attention to what your body is telling you.
How does it feel when you visualize choosing Option B?
Sometimes a choice will feel scary, so you might be confused by butterflies.
But are they the butterflies of excitement or the flutterings of dread?
Stay connected to where yours is steering you.
Look for answers in dreams.
Often, your unconscious knows the right decision, even if your conscious mind feels confused.
