Hi Ellie,

you gotta be careful with "unanswered questions" to which an answer is not forth comming.

Questioning can lead to confusion, confusion can lead to frustration, and frustration can lead to anger, surrender, and pain. (I'm 100% serious)

Of course the relationships between all those things are bi-directional, so you can move up the scale... and it goes further...

Questioning can lead to inspiration, inspiration can lead to fulfillment, and fulfillment/satisfaction can lead to euphoria.

Here's the trick....

just drop the questions for which you have no answer... but continue to allow the solution (hazy as it might be) linger in your mind.

Just don't chase it with questions.

As for emotions - I'm running a series of blog posts right now were I will be writing all of the most effective techniques I've found for managing emotions which you might want to check out. It's a 4 parter and I've already wrote the whole lot - just got a bit of editing to do on the last few bits...

Cheers!

Rich

The last few days I have been going through an internal battle about what is the right decision, my thoughts went from highs to lows, lows to high, from yes to no, to no to yes.

The thing is I didn't really come away with knowing in my heart what the absolute right answer was. My mind was certainly confused and I even though I was trying to understand my mind and what it was doing I could not decipher the "real code".

So how do you do it? Decipher the right answer? How does one get a clear and definitive answer for what is best for them?

I found the process in itself rather confusing, the inner battles, which neither felt right or wrong.

I know this sounds rather cryptic, but do we always get in our mind the right answer, but we decide to block the truth?
