Has anyone else realized the ultimate ‘hack’ for emotional freedom is simply remembering that you have a choice? This simple realization is truly The Ultimate Choice You Can Make, a foundational decision that governs all other choices about how we choose to feel and react in any given moment. Embracing this concept can profoundly shift your experience of life.

The Simple Phrase That Changes Everything
There is a good choice that effectively governs all of the smaller choices we make about how we feel. It’s a choice I encourage you to literally do for yourself. Take a moment and write this powerful decision down where you can see it often.
I choose to remember that I can choose.
Take a screenshot of this phrase and set it as the background on your phone for a while. Why? Because every time you open your phone, you are going to see that simple yet profound statement. You will begin to remember this principle, and over time, it will start to become an automatic thought process in any kind of situation.
How to Make The Ultimate Choice You Can Make in the Moment
When you consistently remind yourself of this power, you will remember that you can choose. Then, in that instant, you can make a conscious shift. Even if you’re around other people or in a public place, you can create that choice silently in your mind. You can affirm to yourself, “I choose to feel like this.” This internal declaration is a powerful way to reclaim your emotional state and break free from reactive patterns.
This process of conscious choice is fundamental if you are looking to move past repeating cycles and stuck mindsets. Understanding how to shift these ingrained patterns is a key step towards emotional freedom.

Acknowledging and Thanking Your Emotions
It’s also important to say thank you to the other emotions that have come up in that moment. They are not your enemies. These feelings are surfacing to be acknowledged and to make themselves heard. There is absolutely nothing wrong with them; they are messengers.
Your emotions are here to communicate to you what it is that you have been dismissing or pushing aside, perhaps for your entire life. By thanking them, you validate their presence and receive their message without judgment. This creates space for you to then make a conscious choice about how you wish to feel moving forward.
Practical Steps for Reinforcement
The choice, “I choose to remember that I can choose,” is a really cool tool for creating more choices for yourself. To make this a part of your daily life, try these simple reinforcement techniques.
- Write it Down: Physically write the phrase down on a piece of paper. The act of writing helps to solidify the intention in your mind.
- Sticky Notes: Put sticky notes where you’ll see them every day. The bathroom mirror is a great spot. For just two weeks, you’ll see it daily, and it will become an integrated part of your life.
- Phone Background: As mentioned earlier, make it your phone’s wallpaper. This provides a consistent, passive reminder throughout your day.
By using these simple tools, you empower yourself to remember your own agency. This isn’t about ignoring difficult feelings, but about realizing that you always have the power to choose your response and, ultimately, your state of being.
