Do we really have a choice? It can look like there is choosing happening can't it? But who is doing the choosing. The same mind which has created the options. The same conditioning deciding one thing is right and one is wrong. The same thinking which is creating all our experience.

It's easy to beat ourselves up afterwards when we see things differently. But self compassion can come in when we realise there was just what looked true in the moment and now something else looks true. Rather than focusing our attention on making 'better' choices, why not focus our attention on the system which creates the choices instead. In understanding the system we can actually develop more ease around choices. We can become more conscious. If you would like to make 'better' choices from a place of conscious presence, drop me a message.
