Hey there . So today's episode is a little different . I'm sharing a chapter in progress from my upcoming book . I Get To the Power of Energetic Choice and while this version isn't final , I'm learning how valuable it is to let things be seen before they're done . There's a belief many of us carry that
we have to be polished and perfect before we show up . That fear of being seen in progress . Boy oh boy , it runs deep . But here's the truth , and it's learning in real time . Messy can be beautiful and sometimes unfinished is exactly what others need to see . We teach what we most need to learn right . So today I'm practicing what I preach . This chapter , and it's brief , is called what is Energetic Choice . So here it is .
Speaker 1This isn't a book about decision making , but if you do have a decision to make , you'll want to keep reading . Energetic choice is not about a destination to arrive at , but rather a place to come from . It's about increasing your capacity for choice by creating a grounded , connected foundation from which to
approach well everything . Decision-making by nature implies black and white thinking . If I say yes to this , I must be saying no to that . It can feel reductive and fear-inducing , and often the pressure to just make a decision becomes the goal itself , rather than intentionally considering what's truly aligned . And you know ? Here's the thing . You can even put decision making through my choice capacitor . Here's how it might look . I can't make a decision . It's too hard . I have to make a decision , or somebody else will . I should make a decision . Everybody's waiting . What's the matter with me ? Pause , here , I should is the tipping point . Slow down , lose the shame . And you're standing in . I could . I could make a decision . I've got the tools and I'm capable . I want to make a decision because ,
no matter the outcome , I'll learn and grow . I get to make a decision because I am the agent of my life , living a created life .
Speaker 1A fellow coach once told me that my energetic choice capacitor reminded him of Doc Brown's time machine in Back to the Future . I'm okay with that , because if Doc's iconic flux capacitor could take you back in time to alter the present , the energetic choice capacitor can change your future by harnessing your energy and centering you in the now . You know , the truth is , I passed through each of these energetic choices before arriving at the decision to share this today . I can't think of anything to write for the show . I have to publish something . I should be better at planning my release schedule .
Speaker 1Once I let go of the shame around not having it all figured out , I saw that I could share something meaningful and that maybe what I'm working on right now is exactly what someone needs to hear From there . It was easy to shift into I want to , because I was genuinely excited about offering this . And now here I am in choice with gratitude ,
energetically charged because I get to . Thanks for being here with me today . I'm Lisa Hopkins . Stay safe and healthy and remember to live in the moment .
