Consciousness Shifting - Shift of the day - Wednesday July 30, 2008

Our consciousness shifting theme this week is Choosing Consciously.

There are 8 ways we choose unconsciously. Do you know what they are?
Robert Fritz defined them in his groundbreaking book, The Path of Least Resistance. Four more ways we choose unconsciously are:

1. Conditioned choice; This type of choosing comes from imposing preconditions on our choices. We say, “If this, then I will ______.” We dictate the circumstances under which we agree to this choice. This type of choosing is often related to the fear of not being good enough and the resultant need to control things in our lives.
2. Choice by reaction; these choices are made as a way to reduce tension and the fear of separation or the loss of love of others. We often refer to this as caving in, or going with the needs of others. The choice is always one towards comfort and away from discomfort and often leads to regret.
3. Choice by consensus; In order to avoid conflict and dissension, we float the question of the moment to a group of stakeholders, and align our decisions with the “will of the majority.” This is a way to play safe and small. Choice by consensus will never serve the fulfillment of your intentions or purpose.
4. Choice by adverse possession; what Fritz is referring to here is the choice to choose from the place of a metaphysical notion about the nature of the universe. The idea here is that whatever you now have you have chosen. This leads to the conclusion that there is something outside of you in control and choosing the circumstances of your life for you. This creates a very passive response, the response of the victim. The truth is that the experiences you are now having in your life have been created by past decisions and actions in part, and when we become conscious of our choices and conditioning, and shift that which no longer serves us we can choose from a place of power and create exactly what we desire in our lives.

Today’s shift says:

Notice how you make choices. Ask yourself the following questions: How will what I am choosing move me closer to my desired end result? Where in my life am I caving or going along to get along? Awareness precedes change and by identifying your patterns of choosing you can choose differently!
