When In Doubt

There are so many times that we are all in doubt.  Doubt about what job to take, doubt about what to fix for dinner or how about doubt about whether to have another child, go out on a date, earn more income and the list goes on and on and on.  This can leave us with paralysis analysis.  People sometimes ask me what to do and sometimes I doubt whether I have the answer or not.  What I do have is a suggestion to try something different than what you have been trying when you are trying to make a decision.  Take a moment to sit back and practice self regulation.  Now I know that self regulation may sound difficult but let me share with you now that it isn't.  You are worth it, aren't you? You can close your eyes or leave your eyes open. Go ahead right now just take a deep breath counting to five.  1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5.  Now hold 5. 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5. Great now exhale slowly for 5.  1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5.  Awesome! Now notice after doing this process for three times how much more relaxed your body is.  Notice each breath in and out.  Feel your body relax a little bit more each time. Afterwards, you may notice that doubt isn't as strong as it was.  It is in this relaxed state you can now evaluate what to do with doubt!  Go ahead and give it a try now!  Let me know what happens.
