Crossroads
There are powerful and despairing moments when we find ourselves standing in the crossroads of life, uncertain of which direction to take.
Fraught with confusion, frustration, uncertainty, fear and the inability to move forward, we struggle with making a decision and/or committing to a path.
When the issue confronting us is big – moving, quitting a job, ending or beginning a relationship, starting our own business, retiring – there is a strong emotional charge. This emotional quotient makes it very challenging to move past the turmoil of the process.
Beyond rational evaluation and analysis, there are tools we can use to assist our decision making. First, breathe, relax. Shut off the chatter-box. Go for a walk, take bath, meditate. Ask for guidance, from the Divine Universe, seek the wise counsel of friends, family and professionals. Confront your fear around the situation.
Afraid that the decision we make will bind us to a position for the rest of our lives is fallacious reasoning, a trick of the negative mind. Trust yourself; trust your Higher Self. Move forward with confidence, knowing that the future if fluid; nothing is set in stone.
