Decision Making and Doubt

Question:How do you stop doubting yourself even when you know you have make a good decision? I could use personal coaching on this issue because I always seem to vacillate. Thanks, Alana, for your spiritual guidance in assessing this personal dilemma of mine.

(Time: 3 minutes, 21 seconds)

Answer: Thank you for your question Dear One. Doubt is a very interesting subject and it is one that we do hold within our mind. Doubt is rarely felt within your heart because your heart is a place within you that has a sense of knowing, and a sense of understanding. Your heart holds compassion; compassion for yourself as well as compassion for others.

So how do you get beyond doubt? First of all, you embrace the doubt. You recognize that your mind has doubt because your mind has reasoning. Your mind has chosen to reason things, to weigh things, to evaluate things. Doubt is a natural element of this process. When you can embrace that you have a beautiful mind to reason with, then you can recognize that, of course, doubt could be something you might ponder.

Now I get the impression that there is also a feeling within you that goes along with this doubt. A feeling of longing or a feeling of vast sadness. Perhaps what this doubt is doing is it is wanting to point you in a direction; a direction where you can begin to embrace the sadness within you and turn that towards compassion for your desire to hold deep love within you. As you honor this doubt, you will find out more about yourself. What will evolve out of this is a deeper sense of connection within your heart. From this place, you will gain greater clarity and greater understanding of your decision. From that, you will gain a greater conviction to hold truth in what will bring you joy.

You see, from this place you will have a sense of knowing. A knowing of what is your highest and best good and how you can more deeply, vastly, and greatly love yourself. As you do this, you will also contribute more of yourself to others.

Thank you for your question. It was a grand one.
