Rejecting openness

Closed!
I do not want to know.
**** off!
Go away!
I choose this state at this time.
Please respect that.
I accept its consequences.

You don't need anyone's permission but your own!

What you permit is all that counts.
Everybody else's business is exactly that.
We need to feel good about what's going on in our lives.
And ditch anything that doesn't.
There's plenty to choose from.
If we only look  ... and see.
Pay attention!

No choice but to accept?

Not true!
There's always a choice.
Consequences will differ.
Someone may be upset or offended.
That someone could even be you,
If you don't make the right choice for yourself.
So accept who and how you are, then choose.

Are you good at choosing and asking for what you want?

Does this depend on what we mean by good? No!
We know what 'good' means in this context.
We can feel how good we are at this.
So, can you choose?
And ask?
Choosing is one thing. Asking is another!
And can you accept no as an answer?

So many choices!

We always have choice.
Including our attitude to what is.
And how we're feeling.
How can that be?
Because we have free will.
What we choose is our responsibility. No-one else's.
Are you enjoying your choices ... and their effects?

I choose to agree ... unless I don't!

You either agree, or you don't!
Agreement is more than mental assent.
It's a feeling.
We need to consult our feelings to fully know whether we agree with a particular choice.
So ... how does it feel, to agree fully?
It feels really good, doesn't it?
If it doesn't, think and feel again!

Ask yourself ... "Do I really want this?"

Are you good at choosing and asking for what you want?

No?
Ever wondered why?
How does it feel not to have your needs recognized and met?
What needs to change so they are?
Choose and ask for what you want.
Then, and only then, can you negotiate about the order in which all choices are met.
Yours and others'.

Curious about choices and those you make?

We all make choices all the time, even when we don't!
What choices are you making?
Do they serve you & make you feel good about yourself?
If not, make different choices.
Learn how to choose & how to ask for what you choose.
Otherwise no-one, including yourself, can ever give you what you desire.
Where's the fun in that?

Choose how satisfied you are!

Accept who you are and what you can become!

Your body can't lie! You know it can't.
We sometimes like to think otherwise.
But who are we fooling?
No-one except ourselves!
We are how we are, and we can be how we choose.
What we choose might mean work.
So be it!
 

Are you good at choosing and asking for what you want?

No?
Then are you a people-pleaser?
It feels good when those around us have what they want.
But what about what WE want?
If we're not getting what we want because we're no good at choosing and asking for it,
then, it's likely we're always doing what others want, which will eventually lead to resentment and blame.
And that's not good!

Have the courage to choose and ASK FOR WHAT YOU WANT!

It's impossible to be helped until what's wanted is known - SPEAK UP!

We all choose, all the time

"A complete choice." - NcGc

A choice isn't a choice until it is!

Wavering isn't choosing.

Liking both or many options is OK.

Choosing cuts a path.

I'm going this way, not that way.

Regret is pointless - or is it?

Whatever you choose is fine - it's your life!

I have no choice?

"There's no such thing as no choice!" - NcNc

I choose.

Consciously or unconsciously.

I choose what I want.

Always.

Making choices conscious choices,

That's the challenge.

I can do it.

Knowing who you are!

"Identifying what you are not." - NiNi

I most definitely am not someone who ........

What?

That! (What?)

OK.

What are you then?

Whatever I choose to be.

Great! What do choose to be right now?

Crossing the line!

"Not bothered either way?" - YaNi

Our bodies don't lie.

Accept who, how and where you choose to be.

And what you feel about that.

If it's not OK, change it.

Into something better.

How will you know it's better?

Your body and your emotions will tell you.
