We continue the conversation of "The Magic of Everyday Choices" with Beyond "never" and "always". You may have heard the advice to never use the words “never” and “always” - but how many times have you told yourself you would never do that again, only to find yourself doing it again. What does choice look like if you are not choosing from “never” or “always”? www.StephanieRichardson.com www.HeatherSmith.AccessConsciousness.com

The way you interact with the world is a choice. You always have choice. Today we will explore the power of choice to create your life. www.StephanieRichardson.com www.HeatherSmith.AccessConsciousness.com

How do you develop awareness? Have you ever observed your own thoughts? What if you knew it is your own choices, your own point of view, your own willingness that gives you the superpowers to change anything? www.StephanieRichardson.com www.HeatherSmith.AccessConsciousness.com

We are thrilled to have a special guest with us today, Blossom Benedict! She created a film called “Greater Than Yesterday.” Blossom says: “the magic, the possibilities, the change that I get to see when I work with people amazes me every day. Is there a greatness that is hiding in you?” We’ll be talking about the creation of this film, the inspiration behind it and how you can have more of you every day! http://www.greaterthanyesterday.com/ www.StephanieRichardson.com www.HeatherSmith.AccessConsciousness.com

Even though we think the show title says it all… This is our pre-Thankgiving warm up and arming for battle. Before you start a full out pumpkin chucking war, you might like to listen to this show! What if fighting for the rightness of your own point of view is what sticks you and your family or friends in the endless battle with no end and no winner, just every one leaving pissed off. What if your points of view are the buttons they get to push? What if there is a different possibility? What if just for this one thanksgiving you played a game with yourself, called “interesting point of view, I have this point of view” and “interesting point of view they have this point of view.” www.StephanieRichardson.com www.HeatherSmith.AccessConsciousness.com

Sometimes things don't go as planned...so this week we bring you a pre-recorded show: "The Good Girl's Grab Bag" with more irreverence, humor and a different perspective with Stephanie and Heather. Enjoy! www.StephanieRichardson.com www.HeatherSmith.AccessConsciousness.com

Gary Douglas, the founder of Access Consciousness talks about, as an infinite being, you cannot see yourself, you cannot see what you already are. So what if we stopped assuming there is something inherently wrong with ourselves, or anything we lack? When we can receive something, it is only because we already are being it. When we notice things other people do not it is because we are being aware and present in a way other people are not. What is different about you, that is just normal for you, that other people are totally in awe of? What would it be like to start acknowledging the greatness you are already embodying? www.StephanieRichardson.com www.HeatherSmith.AccessConsciousness.com

When I was a kid I messed up a brand new pair of shoes. It was devastating. I was so upset that I couldn’t ever have them back in an un-scuffed state. I wanted give the shoes back… to trade them in for a new pair. But I also new that the new pair wouldn’t be that same pair that I loved. There was no way out. We can look back to the past to try to recover something that we feel we’ve lost… we can long for the perfection of something we feel should be… or we can request a new future that could be even greater than what has been! We may not be able to get what we had back… but what if, moving forward was as easy as finally letting go of what we thought we lost... www.StephanieRichardson.com www.HeatherSmith.AccessConsciousness.com

It’s the dream… that tomorrow will be better than today… but what exactly will create tomorrow as being better than today? If we’ve made the same choices over and over what do we do to break these habits that keep repeating? Last week we talked about “should I stay or should I go?” This week we'll begin with the question of “what is possible tomorrow that I can actually allow myself to have and be right now?” The future can appear so bright and shiny and also far off. What if the desire for what you would like your future to be gets created by what you start choosing now? www.StephanieRichardson.com www.HeatherSmith.AccessConsciousness.com
