Here’s something that may help you if you’re ever feeling ambivalent or indecisive about an idea or goal in progress.
Here’s a common scenario. You set a goal, and you’re very excited as you start your journey. You jump in with both feet. You’re reveling in what you’re learning. You’re finding the information and support that you need at every turn. And then you run out of steam. The energy and enthusiasm have waned.
So, now what? What happened? Let’s start by acknowledging that occasional ambivalence is perfectly normal. Yes, I did say normal, there’s nothing wrong with you (or me for that matter
.
something, and we don’t need a reason! It’s only an issue if we get stuck!
It’s common to have opposing attitudes, such as feeling excitement and doubt simultaneously when we think about a big leap! And sometimes we are uncertain about which path to follow. Again, normal!
reinvigorated! This scenario is likely true if you’ve been strongly focused on a particular dream or goal for an extended period of time, or at a high level of intensity.
But what if you take a break and still have mixed feelings?
indecision is perfectly understandable. But we don’t want to stay there indefinitely, because being in limbo is uncomfortable. And forward movement and soul growth requires decisions.
So in order to move from ambivalence to decisive action, look to how you feel about your options. Ask your Inner Wisdom for guidance, and only decide when you’re calmly focused. And don’t allow ungrounded fears to sidetrack you with “shoulds” or analysis paralysis. Your heart always knows the best path!
There is a dance between logic and intuition, but over analysis can kill your passion. The best of both worlds is to follow your passions, and then let your logic help you build the bridge!
So imagine … what are the desired experiences or benefits motivating the dream or paths you’re considering? Which scenario feels better, or more exciting? Why?
Now, what are your concerns? Are you feeling a loss for what you may be leaving behind, if one door shuts, as you walk through another? Again a sense of loss it normal, but you’re seeking what feels better.
you’ll be guided toward what you want to expand in your experience at this particular point in time.
Indifference will be replaced with certainty and renewed vitality, as you gain greater clarity about your next steps! And so it is!
