2. Choice in this moment

The sound of soft rain on glass windows and the subdued light of an overcast day is a perfect setting to pen down some musings. It feels good to just stop and be.

What this is bringing up though is a sense of low grade despondency. This is not surprising as there is so much turbulence and uncertainty every time we listen to the radio or television. I think what really gets to me is a feeling of helplessness. There is nothing I can do to change the situation or come up with solutions that would help. 

I do have a choice, however, in doing something about my own inner environment. Once I became aware of my low mood, I decided to listen too something uplifting. My go to is the internet and listen to some comedy. Another of my go to is music and sing along at the top of my voice, it doesn’t have to be in tune!  It really works.

Crazy as it sounds, I do have a choice in how I want to experience life in this moment, Happy or low.   

I know I have no power over the  outer world but do have the power and choice  in my inner world. It comes down to becoming aware of myself and what mood I am in before I can even do something about it!
