I could say that I have no idea what it is like to experience analysis paralysis but alas that would be a lie.  I think most of us have some familiarity with the way our brains are wired to investigate and understand.  How many times do we catch ourselves saying, “I wish I could wrap my head around it, or once I get my head wrapped around it, I can move forward.”  Like all elements of ourselves, there are darker and lighter shades of expression. Our minds have this seemingly endless capacity to find a million rabbit holes to travel down.  It is good to investigate, review, and even survey what we are being asked to make a decision about.  Given that everything we act on starts with a decision it makes sense to think before we act.  However, we are not simply minds with bodies attached.  We are a complex system that gives and receives information and takes action on many levels.  Relying simply on the inspection authored by the mind leaves open the possibility that the actions we choose are not the fullest expression of ourselves or even the truth of who we are.  God invites us to bring along the inspection of our hearts.  Our hearts have a sensitivity that our minds do not have.  Our hearts can wrap themselves around things our mind could spend our whole lives inspecting and still not get any answers.  By inviting our heart’s inspection into the picture as we move to action we practice strengthening the interconnection of our hearts and minds and acting from a whole and powerful place.
