I was trying to make a decision whether to go out of town or stay home for the weekend. I had two messages, one from my brain and one from my heart. My brain said "go, you must go", and my heart kept saying "no, stay home, rest and take care of yourself". I had been out of town a lot and quite frankly was tired. There was this "tug of war" between my brain and heart and the brain seemed to be louder than my heart. Then I read an article by Amaya Pryce titled "the Power of Waiting (when you don't know what to do") in which she talked of waiting and listening.

What is an affirmation? Short sayings that speak to your spirit!
What do affirmations do?????

Take a break......whatever you want to help clear your head! Meditate, run, do yoga, clean etc.
Go back and look at what you wrote, add any details to the situations that you are overwhelmed about, get very detailed it...

There are so many pluses for allowing yourself to change direction for the better, two major ones are: 1) you will be happier and 2) those around you will feel that and perhaps help them make changes they need to. So, before you say know to changing directions, see if it really is something you would like to do.
