What if every single moment were like a “Y” in the road?
Maybe … it’s already true.
At any point in time, you’re making a choice:
- Speak or listen.
- Smile or be stoic.
- Say the hard thing or don’t say anything.
- Leave or stay.
Most of our choices are unconscious. We react the way we usually do, based on decades of habit and default settings. When we make the effort to stay in awareness, we can see a bit more clearly exactly where The Gap is: the space to make the choice in the first place.
How to get started? Stay present and open. When you feel something in your body, pay attention. It may mean you’re at a “Y” in the road –- the place of choice. Check in with yourself. What does your heart want? What is your sense of the moment?
From this place, you can make a choice.
