Decisions: Think vs Feel.
What if, for a day, you were not capable of experiencing any of the five physical senses? Not sight, sound, taste, smell or touch. But your were still able to think and feel emotions.
What would be the driving force behind decision making?
The sense of feeling emotion is what would guide you through your day. You would naturally follow what feels good for you. If you were so in tune with this sense, you would undoubtedly be more in tune with intuition (gut feeling). You would realize that your thoughts truly are the trigger for emotion, not what happens around you.
What if we let go of the addiction to data collection and analyzation? What would happen if you felt your way through a day? What would happen if you stopped trying to think your way through and made decisions based on what feels right for you?
We live in a world that requires us to make decisions using that left brain of ours. But what if we toned it down a bit and checked in to see where we could slow down our busy mind? The second you begin analyzing, you create a cloud around your options. Start practicing with small decisions and items on your to-do list.
For a day, focus on leaning towards what feels good and right for you. Steer away from over-analyzation. Your decisions with be made quicker and you will feel better.

I just love you and your blog!!! Rock on.
Abby, glad it’s useful for ya! We are just caught up in our heads so much sometimes and get so far off the track of true joy. And when we do what feels good, our general emotion in life leans more towards joy.
Tonya, you are awesome! Thanks for the kind words:)
