We do have choice in our experiences, even if our mind is fearful

Sept 27
We truly have a choice in our experiences, regardless of the internal or external events.

Woke up 6.50 am. Did Bhuta Shuddi followed by Navaratri Sadhana.
So nice, just sitting there in meditative zone.
Forced myself to get up.
Did cat stretch followed by Surya Kriya. While both feet can touch the ground on four mountain pose, alignment not perfect due to imbalance from shoulder and elow pain.
Nice and short breathing meditation.
Shakti is good and Shambavi is okay.

Went for my swim.
Now that my feeling is finally out, I can feel my fear in the pool.
I can swim and can feel my fear in the first three laps. I just tell myself to calm down and focus on the journey, focus on the breathing in water. Later I got my calm and joy came. I was singing and laughing in the pool today. Amen

Was updating blog and saw this
Sadhguru
Though most human believe that their experience is created by events around them, I realised that it is hundred percent self-created.  U can make ur experience whichever way u want.
Once you are blissful by ur own nature, ur life become an expression of ur blissfulness, not a pursuit of happiness. And that is the shift that needs to happen in everyone life.

Suddenly it hit. Yes, events can happen, can be positive or negative..my emotion can happen, be positive or negative. BUT ultimately I have a choice of chossing my experience.
Today in the pool. I feel the fear in me. But I knew that I have a choice of letting the fear over take me and make lose confidence of my capbility in the pool and panic OR I can calm myself down, make the fear subside and enjoy myself in the pool. I choose the latter and I start to enjoy my swim and joy came. Amen
