With a blogsite based on agency, I sure don’t talk a lot about it in my posts… Or do I?
Hello my friend! Thank you for being here today. I have been wondering if YOU have been wondering what the heck all my posts have to do with my tagline:
“Empowering You to Embrace Your Agency and Liberate Yourself Through Conscious Choice.”
I will admit that not all of my posts are self-explanatory on how they fit in, so I wanted to write a single post that will help you understand.
A lot of it comes back down to knowing how your thoughts work, and I explain that in detail here. But basically, your thoughts are creating your reality, and the more you consciously choose your thoughts, the more free you will feel.
So when I write a post telling you how much God loves you, I’m offering you a new thought that you can consciously choose to accept, believe, and focus on. And if you choose to do just that, there will be parts of you that suddenly feel free.
You are free to be the imperfect person that you are! No longer will you reserve feeling God’s love only for the times when you feel like you’ve “earned it” by reading your scriptures, going to the temple, or whatever. And this freedom can change your life, as it will allow you to love yourself more as well as feel God’s love more.
How about my posts on help with reaching your goals? What do they have to do with “liberating yourself through conscious choice”?
Often times, we get “stuck” when it comes to accomplishing things or trying to make new habits. We either get tired and quit or forget, or perhaps we just don’t know the next step to take, or we’re too scared to take it! This comes back down to our thoughts.
All of these posts give you a new way to think about your goals. There are so many thoughts that you can have around yourself and the things you want to do. Some are helpful thoughts, while others are stopping you. So I’m just providing you some thoughts that I think might be useful to you.
You will be liberated from feeling stuck when you use your agency to choose a thought that helps you attain your goals!
I also have many posts on self-love (here, here, here, or here to name a few). Do you wonder what these have to do with agency and liberation?
I feel like this is the BIGGEST area of freedom I want to share with you! Probably because it has made the most impactful difference in my life.
When you love and accept yourself for who you are, without one thought or worry about what other people might think of you, you will feel like you’re standing on a mountain top with your chin up toward the sky and hands high in the air! (It’s the next best thing besides flying with the birds themselves. I mean, as far as I can imagine, haha.)
The freedom to be yourself is one of the most liberating feelings in the world!
In all my posts, I’m offering you different thoughts that you can choose to grab hold of, and by so doing, the new thoughts will work in you and start to change your feelings and actions.
When you think and feel that you are lovable just as you are, your actions shift to reflect your true self –no more hiding, pretending, or filtering! You are FREE to be YOU! What could be more liberating than that?!
As for my posts that have to do with relationships, whether it’s on listening, marriage, judgement toward others, supporting loved ones, etc., it still all comes back to feeling the joy of freedom by choosing your thoughts around the situation.
For example, by embracing your agency to CHOOSE the thought: “It’s not my job to make other people happy”, you will feel liberated from any previous people-pleasing thoughts.
And understanding how relationships work and learning what you can do to improve your thoughts is going to empower you and free you from feeling trapped.
All of the things I talk about are just THOUGHTS for you to pick and choose from. If it’s a thought that you like and you think will serve you, then grab it and run! If it doesn’t resonate with you, that’s ok –I’ll keep coming up with new ones!
In conclusion, I will remind you that you are using your agency every second of every day. You CHOSE to read through this entire post, (and if someone pinned you down and “made” you finish it, you still chose to go along with it).
Agency is always there, yet it is rarely thought about. I’m going to try to do a better job at explaining the role of agency in each blog I write to help you clearly see how it applies.
Thanks for listening to me! Do you know that I’d love to hear from you too?? Leave a comment or drop me an email!
Love you,
Kayleen
