One of the beautiful things about being alive in the world we are in today is how many choices we have.  One of the overwhelming things about being alive in the world we are in today is how many choices we have. How is it possible that the very thing we think we want and need more of causes us to experience what social scientists call “decision fatigue”? It turns out when we have so much choice it wears out the part of our brain that works to make those decisions. One method to curbing this is to create habits in which the decision has already been made and just needs the action carried out. Before we get to creating habits we need to have a sense of whether or not it is even something we need to incorporate into our life.  Knowing what path we are on and where we are intending to go gives us the parameters with which to work. It doesn’t mean knowing the avenues we are traveling are the only ones we can traverse.  It does mean we have some sense of which decisions will keep us moving in the direction of the path we are on.  There can be several avenues to get there and sometimes we have to take side streets.  However, being able to name the avenue we are on allows us to know which alternate streets are most likely to keep in the line of sight of our main avenue.  Decisions are not just a mental thing.  Our hearts play a larger role than we realize. Being in alignment within ourselves allows us to be who we are called to be no matter where we are traveling. If we stay in sync with our hearts we will find it easier to navigate through the many avenues we come across on our path and will not be overwhelmed when it comes to choosing what we keep us on track.
