Reminds me of the time I went to this nice restaurant and ordered some food which I didn't like at all but I made myself eat it cos I was paying for it. Way to go exercising choice there ;) As for gyms I pay a monthly membership - don't like committing to anything long term (something I'm working on, commitment AND freedom LOL). Mistake # 1 also accounts for why we don't take action on our ideas sometimes .. cos we forget that if it doesn't work out, we can almost always go back and try something new instead of sticking it out flogging a dying horse. I LOVE what you say about getting rid of the drama and letting it be downstream. I've had to learn that one myself, being an ex drama queen in my day. Words I'm taking from you: downstream, better choices, calm and peaceful, save the drama fo' your mama... and on that note, gnite and thanks for chipping in! Ooooooo Carol!

Every time I went, I thought to myself that I’d rather be outside going for a walk and enjoying nature, but kept going to the gym until my membership expired (I paid for it, gosh darn it, so I’m gonna get my money’s worth. No wonder they make you pay for six months at a time! LOL). That was pre-LOA consciousness. Lesson learned . . . :) Your Mistake #1 observation is profound . . . Assuming that once a “seemingly good” decision has been made, it’s always going to be good. I think we all get caught in that one once in a while. And look at all of the people in jobs they don’t like or in relationships they aren’t happy in . . . they all sounded like good ideas once upon a time. I’d say there is an epidemic of Mistake #1! I love the saying, “Blessed are the flexible, for they shall never be bent out of shape!” If something isn’t working, it's time to make another choice. Abraham’s downstream has been my choice lately. A calm, peaceful life. Waking up in the morning and deciding then what I am going to do for the day. Lots of people would be bored silly . . . but I think that getting rid of the drama has really helped me get centered again . . . and has helped me to make better choices now that I don’t have my attention being pulled in so many different directions. “Am I choosing this?” I’m adopting your new favorite words, Tia! What a powerful question to ask every day . . . Your post made me laugh and remember how much I hated going to the gym (the lunges were the straw that broke the camel’s back for me).

LOL Jeannette! Skawts are so not hawt for me. I've been very aware of some things I was leaving up to other people to do and feeling stuck as I waited on them to do "their part" so I could do mine. Until I asked myself if i was choosing to feel stuck! Wow, eye opening. Ended up doing that thing myself within 15 minutes instead of waiting for 3 hours twiddling my thumbs and getting more and more frustrated by the minute. My new favourite words to ask "Am I choosing this"? Thanks for dropping by J! One man’s poison…. LOL Jeannette! Skawts are so not hawt for me.

Squats are one of the few exercises I consistently enjoy. lol But NOT at the gym. I exercise my power of choice to get workouts in the privacy and comfort of home. Nice reminder, Tia!
