THE BURDEN OF INDECISION

THE BURDEN OF INDECISION

Many difficult decisions in life sit in the mind under constant internal discussion.
Do it? Don’t do it? Do it this way? Do it that way?

Of course the possibilities and consequences must be considered. It can be good to write down the arguments in favour and against. That focuses the mind.

Indecision is a heavy burden, and you feel it dragging you down. You are stuck at the crossroads. You are not going with the flow. You have stopped.

How many times have you seen someone who has made a major decision saying, “I am so glad that I ………….”

They are light again, going with the flow, and happy, often giving up much security in life, for the path of freedom to be themselves, to do what they want or need to do, to leave a person who drags them down, or to be with a person they want to be with.

They become free of the heavy burden of indecision.

Is it time to make that important decision and become light again? Is it time to leave your load at the crossroads and move along whichever path you will choose?

What better time than at the end of a year to close some doors, and the beginning of the New Year to start afresh.

It is better to try and to fail, than never to try at all.

THE IMPORTANCE OF “ME” TIME

THE IMPORTANCE OF “ME” TIME

Did you ever see something in a shop, want it, and for whatever reason, not buy it? : Perhaps a book, a pair of shoes, or whatever. You felt that you could not spare the money that day, or were just indecisive.

When you arrived home you regretted the decision or the indecision. Next time you passed the shop, went in, and what you wanted was no longer there.

Did you ever not do something because “I am too busy”, like doing yoga, meditating, attending an important event or reading a special book?

You know that “I am too busy” is really an excuse. You can find time in the busiest day for a few minutes of silence to connect with the “inner You”, your higher self. We can all be more time efficient if we decide to be.

The three most important things in life according to Prahbu Darmayasa, Balinese spiritual leader, and co-founder of the Divine Love Society, are:

Health
Peace of Mind
Divine Love

He says that we ignore these “diamonds”.

It may not be your style but sometimes even the most “giving” person must put himself first. Make some “ME” time a priority, even five minutes a day, to be quiet and to look within, to listen.

If you only give, and never take for yourself, your life is out of balance. We all need balance.

Never again miss the rare opportunity to get what YOU need or want when you see it. It may never be offered again.

If it is important you, for once, put “ME” ahead of worrying that “But I should stay home to be with my partner today” or “I should not spend this money”, or “I don’t have time”.

These common thoughts / phrases will lead to lifelong regret of missed opportunity, and leave you out of balance and harmony.

ME time is your gift to your self to nurture your soul.
