By Audrey:<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/span><\/span> When we face an overwhelming choice, perhaps it\u2019s in our career or our love life, it can begin to eat away at our sanity and essentially live rent free in our heads. This is the time when we need to draw from our past experiences and recall a difficult time when we had to make another hard choice, remember what we chose then and with that knowledge choose what the most successful path is for us now. This is wisdom, we all build up wisdom and have it passed to us throughout our lives from simply living our experiences, asking for advice from those we trust and from making productive mistakes.<\/p>\n

Wisdom guides us to our best path of joy from within our hearts and our minds, we can always rely on that first choice that comes to us while focusing on a hard decision. The best way to pull knowledge from our inner wisdom is to simply not overthink, to weigh our options rationally and make the choice. All people have a drive for survival whether it’s physical survival or emotional survival we have built in sensors inside us this may affect our influence over our inner wisdom, this is healthy and helpful through the decision process, as the ancient saying says, if it harms no one do what thou will.<\/p>\n

While we are drawing from our inner wisdom, we will feel the pull of intuition. Intuition is our inner sense of what is to come, often it is on sensory overload while we are facing down a difficult choice. On some occasions, our intuition can feel like intrusive thoughts constantly popping up while we are trying to focus on our day to day, this is actually good this means that it is time to face what is bothering us about this difficult choice, it can seem scary but facing the fear and overcoming it takes us back to the driver’s seat and puts us in control of our heart and mind. Our intuition can be very helpful in weighing our options, playing out the scenarios in our head a few times can make the difficult choice a little easier and having the sense of what is next is a game changer in this process. If we do find ourselves stuck in a panic and in need of affirmation about the decision we are considering, it is advised you reach out to get an outside objective view. Whether it\u2019s a professional or a trusted friend having an outsider investigate what we are considering is calming and key to moving forward with our decision.<\/p>\n

One issue that can arise from being stuck in a decision and seeking outside opinion is we unintentionally find out who really cares for us and who only remains in our life for convenience, handling the uncomfortable subject of true intentions from a friend or a close confidant is best taken head on and done quickly, with kindness and directness. People enter our lives for many reasons, sometimes they are not meant for assisting during the difficult decision making, but meant for influence on other parts of our life such as releasing stress and finding our inner child again. The people around us have different roles to play out in our lives. This is completely normal. Just if they help us feel positive and peaceful while we are just being ourselves, they should remain in our inner circle. Holding tightly to a toxic connection in our life, whether it\u2019s a relationship that has been for years or only a few weeks never results in happiness for those involved. When we focus on fixing someone or fixing ourselves, we miss out on what life has to offer such as new opportunities and growth within. No one is truly broken, healing our deep scars within our heart takes time but it is the most important part of finding peace and feeling secure within ourselves. The only way this healing can begin is if we face hard choices and focus on our inner joy.<\/p>\n

Facing a difficult choice can be fast tracked into being absolved by quick action, well thought out but quick action. While we are taking too much time to think and rethink what the right move is, other parties involved may be making their own moves and shifting the energy of the situation that may affect us in a negative way. This can be avoided by using good communication with those involved and making our point heard. Once our decision is made and we\u2019ve spoken our truth, leaving it alone is always the best move. Lingering and feeling bad about our choice can only lead to larger issues later. Conviction in what we believe to be the right thing to do and doing it is very important for our soul and our karmic scales. The first thing to do once we have expressed ourselves is to take some space. Giving too much of our energy to a challenge that has already been resolved causes deep scars in our self-worth and confidence, healing and focusing on the things that make us feel most alive and content allows the universe to recognize our manifestation energy and can set us back on our path towards our hopes and dreams. Identifying whether our inner voice is using wisdom or intuition is the first step towards successful decision making and self-growth. Allowing both of these useful tools we all possess to help us through the hard times will steer us back onto our fated path in life, and help us all live a full life with great positive energy and grace within ourselves and will help us show others positivity and grace as well. The time is now. Today, face that hard thing, be bold, be brave and above all remember to be kind.<\/p>\n
