You can compose a convincing argument to justify any decision.
When we embrace this truth, we take the weight and pressure off our decisions, allowing ourselves to come up for air, and to make our choices with ease and confidence.
Your intuition (which lives in your body) is much wiser than your logical mind.
We often feel disconnected to this given how much emphasis is placed on developing and using our mind in today’s society.
The biggest downfall of using your mind alone to make your decisions is that you cannot possibly predict all the ripple consequences.
Making decisions from your intuition requires you to have trust in yourself – trust that if you feel guided to do something, it will be of service to you even when you don’t know how.
The difference between your intuition versus mind-leading decisions is within the initial response, notice the visceral reaction of your body.
Intuition: You will feel the visceral YES and within three seconds your mind will begin generating thoughts to convince you otherwise, planting seeds of fear and doubt.
Mind: You will feel a visceral NO and again within three seconds your mind will generate thoughts that attempt to talk you into saying yes.
We all have different body cues, becoming in tune with your own body will heighten your ability to feel intuitive guidance.
Your intuition and your logical mind are usually diametrically opposed because your mind does not want you to expand past what is familiar (even when it is uncomfortable), to the mind this is what keeps you ‘safe’.
Your intuition wants to guide you towards expansion, even when there is some discomfort in the transition.
Bringing your mind and body/intuition into unison requires the feeling of safety within the unfamiliar.
You can always make a new decision, some decisions require more intention and deeper consideration, however the decisions you are making every day, and getting caught up in, for the most part do not require you to consider the ‘pros’ and ‘cons’ – make a choice and keep moving.
When you avoid making a choice, you carry the heaviness and often the decision will end up being made for you, this will only dilute your confidence and connection to your body.
