Have you ever been at a point where you can’t make a decision?
\nI find that when I have a backlog in the office I have that problem. The solution is to sort through everything on my desk and organize it into levels of priority. I separate personal and business things. Then I take the business material and sort it into several stacks: things to be filed, bills, things which require my attention and things which can be thrown away. Once I get into that sorting mode everything falls into place. Occasionally I fill a box with things that don’t fit any of those categories and that’s a really bad move. That box will hang around waiting for my attention for a YEAR! Better to deal with things right away, than to let them build up.
\nI wonder if that’s a metaphor for life….<\/p>\n
\nRecently, I heard that when you can’t decide what you need to do with your life, you should do something for someone else. Perhaps that puts things into perspective and makes your decisions easier. Or, perhaps while you are focusing on someone else, your brain can go to work on your own problems without the distraction of worry.
\nCleaning the house, or getting all the weeding done, sometimes accomplishes the same thing for me. It’s as though by physically “getting my house in order,” I am free to focus on personal issues.
\nI’m a Libra. I don’t tend to put much weight into things astrological, but I am willing to accept that frequently I can see both sides to an issue. And some issues have more than two sides. The larger the number of options, the more difficult it is to decide what to do. Perhaps using the office analogy, I can put some choices to the side for future thought, throw out those that don’t apply, and that will leave me with the ones worth considering.
\nI think I’d rather do something for someone else. It sounds like a nicer way to spend the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
