Yesterday I had one of those moments of realisation as I sat on a Coaster waiting to be launched around the track.
I had the power to choose whether to get on the coaster or not! I had chosen to get on because I wanted to be part of the family fun. In the past, once I had made the choice to get on, I sat in dread every moment of the ride.
That's when it struck me, I could also choose to enjoy the ride, I was choosing to hate it even though I had committed to going on the journey.
The only thing stopping me enjoying it was the story I was telling myself about how much I would hate it.
I changed my state of mind and relaxed. For the first time I really enjoyed the ride!
For years I have hated these rides because I felt I was out of control. Suddenly I realised I am in total control of my state of mind.
Thinking this through I realised that this is true for everything in life, we decide to commit to things then spend our time worrying about the decision rather than enjoying the experience.
Enjoy your ride
