Great advice all around. RTWolf's mention of emotions really resonated with me. One thing I do if I'm faced with a decision that doesn't have an easy answer is I flip a coin and pretend that this will decide the outcome. Then, once the decision is "made" by the coin, I digest it as though that was what I was going to do. Then I check my body. How do I feel? Am I sorry the coin flipped the way it did? Does anything hurt? Does deciding the opposite make the hurt go away?

Lots of times, I'll try the other decision on for size the same way just to be thorough. In fact, you don't really even need a coin unless you are so indecisive about this that you can't decide which one to try first!

Hope that helps!
