Are you making fear-based or conscious choice?

Are you making a fear-based or conscious choice? Fear-based decisions give you the illusion of happiness and safety. They're usually done impulsively in an attempt to avoid dealing with something scary. However any satisfaction you get from this is likely to be short-lived. Give yourself the time to come back to a place of emotional balance, then honestly look at your options and how you feel about them. It's better to respond to something, than it is to react to it.
