Sometimes when we need to make a decision, we can become overwhelmed or feel
pressured into coming to a conclusion immediately. Often, a decision isn't
required right away, and the sense of urgency we feel is merely a limitation
that we've placed upon ourselves. Once we've determined that we do have the
time to make a wise choice for ourselves, we can release the pressure with a
deep breath, like steam from a pressure cooker, and proceed to make the best
use of our time.
The best first step may be to gather all the facts we can find. Once we have
all the logical information we need, we can allow ourselves to sit with it
and soak it up. Like a good recipe, we can allow ourselves to marinate in the
juices of intellectual understanding while also adding our own spices made up
of our feelings, our intuition, and any other considerations. We can taste
the recipe for readiness as we go in order to decide if more time or
ingredients are needed. We might want to take time to visualize ourselves
playing out the various scenarios to see which feels the best, remind
ourselves of our goals, or merely sit silently in meditation, listening for
guidance. Any of these techniques can add depth and flavor to the recipe of
our decisions.
We can allow ourselves to sit with our choices for whatever length of time is
needed, whether it is a day, a week, a month or longer. Doing so gives our
hearts, minds and spirits the chance to align, allowing us to make a decision
that is right for us. Other times, we may need to let the wisdom of the
universe unfold for us at its own rate, allowing our growth and realizations
to sync up with the universe's secret and essential ingredients so that all
of the flavors are ready at the same time. When we allow ourselves the time
to sit and allow understanding to sink in, we can co-create the best decision
possible for ourselves and for everyone involved.
