Choosing to Trust Yourself

When people make intuitive decisions, they are happier than those who make decisions based on careful analysis

Published

on

A study in the 1940s of highly successful people uniformly found that they reached decisions quickly and retreated from them slowly. A more recent study reveals that when people make decisions based on instinct, they are happier than those who make decisions based on careful analysis. Hmm. Too much thinking could be hazardous to your choices – and to your happiness.

Trusting yourself enhances your ability to choose based on limited information.

Robert Fritz, author of The Path of Least Resistance, teaches that by making choices – positive affirmations to yourself regarding what you want – you move closer each day to attaining them. This is not synonymous with “positive thinking.” The choices Fritz suggests are made regularly, regardless of how you feel at the moment you’re making them. Your goal is to keep making them.

Reinforcing Statements

Here is the statement that reinforces your desire to trust yourself: “I choose to trust my ability to make the right choice.” Another vital choice is choosing to feel worthy and complete, spoken to yourself: “I choose to feel worthy and complete.” This helps you to reduce anxiety, stay calm, and feel more relaxed. Depending on how long it’s been since you’ve felt worthy and complete, you might have to make this choice for many days running – but keep at it.

By choosing to feel worthy and complete, you automatically redirect yourself to accept that there is nothing you must do. Everything is based on your choice. If you choose to continue working on some task, even one assigned to you, the choice is made in the present moment, and not based on a prior agenda. A worthy and complete feeling yields a tremendous sense of inner harmony.

Maintaining Your Choices

As with any quest to reinforce choices you make, write or type your choices and post them, or voice record them and play them back. How many choices can you make at once? Make a few or many, there is no limit. Choose what feels right for you.

And keep choosing. While you’re waiting in a bank line, run through your choices. If you notice yourself wavering, recall the new behavior or feeling that you’ve chosen. You can choose to overcome rituals that no longer support you, or you can make choices beyond anything others would have guessed you’d choose.

A new idea is such a rare thing. We often simply parrot what we hear and read. You can make choices that are not congruent with your history. You can makes choices that no one has ever made before.

The left has long worked to overthrow America and all that it stands for. They have been working at it since early in the 1900’s and it took up more speed in the late 60’s and early 70’s with the rise of the radical left. PolitiCrossing founder Chris Widener explains the three-pronged attack and how it is almost complete, as well as the only things we can do to save ourselves and this country we love.
