Unconscious choices… – Part 2

Unconscious choices… – Part 2

Choose one thing, and you automatically don’t choose the other.

Yesterday, I said:

"If you don’t take care of one thing, you automatically take care of the other."

That got a few reactions.

Mostly from people recognizing this in their own lives.

We make thousands of choices every day.

Most of them unconsciously.

For most choices, it doesn’t matter whether you’re aware of them or not.

How you walk, where you look, how you breathe.

And at work, certain tasks become routine over time and happen automatically.

🤔 Why wouldn’t the same thing happen in how we interact with others?

But it does.

In romantic relationships, friendships, and work relationships.

The automatic hug, the automatic beer or glass of wine, the automatic quick greeting while you wrestle with your coat, eyes down, thinking about your packed schedule.

👀 Attention is powerful.

It’s noticeable when you don’t pay attention to something.

And if you’re not careful, you lose the connection.

It arrives on foot 🦶 and leaves on horseback. 🐎

Repairing a relationship takes much more effort than starting or maintaining one❗

Is that the message you want to send to those around you?

❓ That they’ve become a “habit” for you?

❓ That they’re nothing special?

❓ That you take them for granted?

❓ That you don’t appreciate them, or even see them?

Yes, it requires time ⏳, energy 🔋, and commitment. 💪

On top of everything else that has to happen and keeps going on.

What are you doing in your practice to contribute positively to this?
