ABSTRACT
We make many decisions throughout every day of our lives, but most of the time we are not aware of these. There may be times though when we feel we have very little or no control over situations we are in and believe that we have no choices. If we wake up to the choices we are making which keep us feeling like we are on the conveyor belt, we can begin to make conscious choices and take more control over our lives. Throughout our lives, at least in certain situations, we believe nothing we can do matters, and so we give up trying and go along with things (often unhappily). To hold power is to have responsibility, because we have to be responsible for the consequences. As taking control and making choices can be intimidating, there are ways to reframe our understanding of the process and our approach to it.
