Let me ask you a question...

I think that given an adequate level of consciousness concerning potential paths for the future it is quite easy to make decisions which ways to go. However, if you are not finding yourself at the "emotional conviction", that is required for a decision, how can one raise one's consciousness, up to the required level?

In my case, I often can find pros and cons at the intellectual, objective level and list them, but I do find myself just as often not knowing what to do with that data now.

For example, I have relatively few time (maybe some months) left to decide whether to go abroad for studying one term or not, and I can list each decision's pros and cons, but the whole thinking about it just does not touch my heart so that I could feel comfortable about one decision or the other.

So if I continue postponing the decision-making, time will run out and do the decision for me, but this way I lose my option of deciding myself.

So: How can one raise ones consciousness with the purpose of making a concrete decision more easy? (I'm targetting at the emotional side of it!)
