The Gap

In every moment we have a choice. We get to decide what story we’re going to tell. What program we’re going to run. What belief we are holding up as truth. It’s a cosmic, co-creative, game of catch we’re playing with our non-physical partners. Sometimes we get thrown a curve ball, and even then we have a choice. How are we going to greet the unexpected plot twist? 
In each moment we have a choice. There is a gap between stimulus and response. That gap is where we access our power to choose. 
Are we present enough in our experience to mindfully choose how we’re going to respond? Or are we asleep at the wheel, letting our mind lull us back into complacency? 
Where are you still choosing the well worn path of unconscious reaction instead of mindful creation? 
In each moment we have a choice. 
With each choice we birth a new creation. 
If we’re not tuned into the voice of our Soul Self, then how can we mindfully choose? The gap where we access our power is often fleeting. To unlock the power that exists in the gap, we must first be present enough to notice it. The best way to tune in to it is by quieting the mind and learning to listen through the heart. Quieting the mind is a skill that is learned. 
Taking a few moments each day to access stillness and tune into the voice of your Soul Self can support you in making powerful shifts in your life. In that stillness, we access our connection to our Soul Self. It is through that connection that we are able to tune into our truth. Not the “truth” we have been sold, but the truth that is indelible and unshakeable. The truth of who and what we really are. Only you know what truth feels like. When you find it, and learn how to trust it, it changes everything. 
But you can’t find it if you can’t hear it. If your mind is always focused on what happened yesterday or what might happen tomorrow, you can’t hear it. If your face is always buried in your phone, or your laptop, or the chatter of your mind, you can’t hear it. If you’re always on the defense, bracing for impact in whatever nightmare scenario your mind has concocted, you can’t hear it.
Stillness brings you to the only moment that ever exists. Now. Learning how to ground yourself and focus the fullness of your consciousness in the eternal now slows everything down. When things slow down and you’re able to quiet the chatter of your mind, you have begun to widen the gap between stimulus and response. The more we tune into our Soul Self and access our authentic power, the wider that gap becomes. It is in that gap where everything changes.
But you’ll never find it if you’re not present enough to notice it.
Stop, Close your eyes and breathe. For five minutes, just sit, breathe, and listen to what’s going on internally. 
Just stop.
Take a breath.
Let the waters of your inner landscape become still.
And listen.
