Do you ever feel that you are at a fork in the road? Maybe you feel like you're body is saying to do one thing, but your mind is saying to do another...? Why are these the hardest times to make decisions?!
How do you cope with this? What do you do in situations when you're not sure if you want to listen to your gut or your mind?
I have a situation like that on my hands right now. Do I talk myself into doing something that I feel unsure about? Even as I write, I realize how dumb my reasoning sounds. Of course I don't! Why would I talk myself into something that I didn't feel was right for me.
I don't mean to come across as new-agey, or anything of the like, but I do firmly believe that intuition is prevelant and powerful, and that we don't listen to it as much as we should. I keep feeling like I'm not sure of the path I think I want. On the flip side, I don't want what I'm saying to be miscronstrued as only listening to impulsive feelings and never thinking things through. That's not at all what I mean. What I'M talking about is this: having consistent unsettling feelings about something, but also thinking that the same something is a smart decision.
I've been weighing this decision heavily in my mind. When something fits with me, it FITS. It works with all of me - do you know what I mean? When I am happy with a decision, I am relieved, joyful, happy, excited, and pumped! When I'm not sure about something, I have those feelings of unsettlement, even if I keep trying to tell myself that I'm making the right decision. I know, deep down, that I'm not.
I guess that's the answer then. I can't preach about listening to your body and it's feelings when I don't do the same. I will not take the 'if-y' fork, I will wait until I am thrilled with my decision. I advise anybody in a similar situation to do the same thing. :):)
