Decisions

"Decision is the spark that ignites action. Until a decision is made, nothing happens...Decision is the courageous facing of issues, knowing that if they are not faced, problems will remain forever unanswered."  -Wilferd A. Peterson

We make decisions everyday. Whether it's a decision about what we wear to what we eat. Some decisions are easy and others more difficult to make. The thing about a decision is that it's ultimately our choice. A decision is something we make based on different factors that we consider. So when we do make a decision it is something we make for ourselves.

I think it's easy to say that our decisions, in which we consider difficult, usually are the ones that take the most time to make. Possibly having to make it over and over, knowing that it is the right decision for us in the end.

Through my regular practice of Mindfulness, one of the things I have become aware of are body sensations. In a way, I know when my body is talking to me. Some people equate this sense of awareness of body sensations to understanding their intuition or vibes. Whatever is the preferred way of looking at it, I believe that these vibes are a way of saying something needs to change. I have come to realize that uncomfortable or painful sensations/vibes come from deep within, something that isn't or hasn't been right. Sometimes we can name what is creating these vibes right away and other times it stems from our subconscious. However, if it continues to occur then it's time to address it. When we do finally decide it's time to address it, figuring out what the problem is and looking at what you can do to change it for yourself. We are the only one responsible to change a situation for ourself. 

During the process of being aware of a continuous, perhaps painful sensation, one may tend to be consumed by thoughts. Thoughts of why these feelings are there, what are the reasons, and so on. Allowing yourself to have these thoughts is ok, just as long as the thoughts don't consume your life. Sometimes some issues take longer to work through, however, when different choices are made and the choice that puts you at ease each time you make it, then you know in your heart that you have found the answer. That is when you let it go and in a way you will be free of the issue. 

Remember it's ok to take time to try to understand difficult feelings. Be proud of yourself for doing the work. When you do make the decision that is best for you, believe and trust that something wonderful is waiting for you around the corner.
