How do I create more options in my life?
Let's start with an assumption: having more options in life is better than have few to none.
If you agree with that assumption as I do, then the immediate follow-up question should be:
"How do I create more options in my life?"
I've indirectly spent the last few years of my life exploring this question, and here's the running list that I've come up with. Most of them don't need any explanation, although I may turn any or all of them into separate posts as some point. Also, I'm using the word options here in the traditional sense of choices and alternatives, but also in the sense of our perception and awareness of solutions and experiences that may not have been possible from a previous state.
In order to maximize my options, I have either consciously or unconsciously started doing the following:
- Reduce or eliminate situations, people and environments that make me feel angry, hopeless, frustrated, aggressive or massively triggered
- Decrease personal burn rate of recurring and fixed monthly expenses
- Allocate time for synchronicity, manifestation and allowing magic to happen
- Take a beginner's mindset and objectively ask both obvious and non-obvious questions
- Increase time spent adventuring and exploring new places
- Dig deeper into mastery of things that are important to me beyond the surface level and amateur status
- Explore new topics and subjects that seem fascinating where I have very little knowledge
- Meditate to increase trust in the unknown and remove attachment from forcing a particular outcome
There is an incredible body of knowledge that studies the relationship between our energetic state and the options we can see. From the absolute lowest energetic, there are literally no options. We are just going to lose with no way to win. As our energy level increases, we can see the solution in black in white then many possible options all the way up to unlimited options with an definitive guidance towards the correct option for us.
One of the most important things I do to improve my ability as a leader and a Creator is to design my life to optimize for my energy. Maximizing my time spent in the highest energetic states provides me with all the options I will ever need.
