- Best Therapy Session Ever - Huge Reframing win after a REALLY rough day - Took time for myself Thought of the day! Today, I choose courage. I just had an experience that pushed me to the bottom levels of David Hawkin's map of consciousness. My circumstances filled me with frustration, anger, and apathy. The Hawkins map of consciousness is a brilliant framework that shows how we control where we fall on its spectrum of emotions, regardless of circumstances. Courage is considered the pivotal tipping point. In an effort to change my mindset, I took a drive. I realized that I had not only a choice but an incredible opportunity. Sitting in my car, I knew I had a decision to make. I could become bitter, resentful, or ashamed. It would have been SO easy to justify it. Or I can courageously lean into the trial. I chose courage. And everything changed. My spirit, my energy, my mindset, my mood. I believe everything works together for our good if we let it. Here's a picture of me during that decision-making process. It's a messy picture... Choosing courage is often messy. But I believe it is one of the purest forms of self-love. Regardless of what you are going through... You can choose courage. It may feel impossible, but I promise it's not.
