Our provides at the very least an opportunity of freedom for our mind.  It works very hard to keep us alive and does quite a good job as far as I can tell.  Sometimes it can work against us if we do not make sure to be mindful about it.  It is easy to get caught up in our heads about something and while we are great problem solvers, we also need the perspective of our hearts.  Our hearts do not see things the same way.  Love from which we were created is designed to be freeing.  Bringing the perspective of the power of love and hope to shed light on something can free us from our thinking we just need to survive.  If we take on the posture of our hearts, we are freeing up the mind from carrying all the weight in the decisions we make.  Sometimes when I am so certain that I just need to run the scenarios in my mind one more time to figure it out and come to a solution, I remember to pause.  I put my hand to my heart, take a few deep breaths, and ask myself what the answer is.  Sometimes it is wait, sometimes it is what I sense is the direction to move in, sometimes it prompts me to ask more questions, bring God in closer, come back to it, and a multitude of options I had not yet considered.  All of those free me from having to have the answer that moment or putting the weight of the whole world on figuring it out.
