Choose Your Life
You get to create your life, most parts of it. And you can choose how to handle the other parts.
So, what we want are the best ways to choose the life we want, and make the changes we need to accomplish that life.
Here on Express Yourself, I am gathering great ways to help you figure out what kind of life you want and how to make the changes to accomplish those choices. We can do it! You can do it…
Choice is powerful…
You know the life you want and are looking for how to get to it.
Or you are searching for your path, not sure yet what life you will choose.
In either case, there’s some work to do… Let’s get busy!
A very good career choice would be to gravitate toward those activities and to embrace those desires that harmonize with your core intentions, which are freedom and growth—and joy. Make a “career” of living a happy life rather than trying to find work that will produce enough income that you can do things with your money that will then make you happy. When feeling happy is of paramount importance to you—and what you do “for a living” makes you happy—you have found the best of all combinations.

Especially focused on “stuckness”…

Artfully weaving together scientific studies, anecdotes, and interviews, Anatomy of a Breakthrough will inspire you to boldly break away from the things holding you back, and to realise your goals.
Choose books to make choices and changes in your life…
Of course I turn to books, for inspiration or how to make a change. I was brought up reading everything, from stories to books full of ideas.
At 16, that love and faith in books led to the opening of a family book store that was open for years. I hunted down bookshops in every town I traveled to, hung out in, and worked in, libraries and bookstores.
It was an easy transition for me, to the internet, to finding the hundreds of websites focused on any interest I had, to googling any pursuit. And I constantly now use Youtube and Pinterest to gather ideas, understanding, and knowledge.
Books to read!
Think and dream creatively! Use goals to help you grow! Believe you can succeed and you will!

Focusing, a book by Eugene T Gendlin, Ph.D.
A pivotal book offering a simple thought process for discovering your deepest motivations for or against your progress in any area of your life. Insightful and useful!
Amazon description: Based on groundbreaking research conducted at the University of Chicago, the focusing technique has gained widespread popularity and scholarly acclaim. It consists of six easy-to-master steps that identify and change the way thoughts and emotions are held within the body. Focusing can be done virtually anywhere, at any time, and an entire “session” can take no longer than ten minutes, but its effects can be felt immediately–in the relief of bodily tension and psychological stress, as well as in dramatic shifts in understanding and insight.
