We are each given so many options every single day in our lives.
And we have the opportunity to travel along the same path or mix things up a bit and go down a different route.
While these choices are wonderful, we may sometimes feel overwhelmed by them.
We may start to feel scattered and find ourselves retreating into the known instead of embracing the new.
This is where I am today.
I have so many wonderful new options in my buffet of life.
And I really want to step out of my comfort zone and try some new options.
But to do this and enjoy them, I feel that I first need to get grounded and get focused.
And I would suggest that if you are ever feeling a bit overwhelmed by all of the choices you get to make - to take a deep breath, take some time to go within, and just sit with it all.
Which choices feel right for you and where you are right now in your life?
Which choices are a bit of a push, but still feel like something you would like to try?
How would your life be different if you sampled more choices and pushed yourself?
What's the worst that could happen if you went for it and dared to do something different?
Make sure to keep coming back to yourself and listening to your inner voice.
And also make sure to breathe and center yourself before making any decisions.
Focus and grounding do wonders for feeling scattered and overwhelmed.
Today I invite us all to take the time to center ourselves, so we can fully be present and appreciate all of the amazing choices that we get to make.

How Could This Be About Me?
Dear Keith and Maura, I just found your website and podcasts yesterday and they totally resonate with me. I am a very active youthful 55. I was widowed suddenly at 32 with 2 babies. My soulmate died and I was lost and devastated. I banged around for 10 years raising my boys, working and trying to find a similar loving relationship as I had. I met losers, liars, cheaters, alcoholics, and abusers.
