I've heard from many lately, including in the book "Law of Attraction", that your higher self guides you through your emotions. If something feels "good" then you're in alignment and that makes sense to me. Some things are a no brainer when it comes to feeling good (i.e. my hobbies etc....). Some other stuff that I need to make decisions on seem to be a little tougher lately.

Say I look at a situation that I've been pondering, say becoming a real estate investor, or quit my job, or whatever, and there are essentially 2 solutions. Either do it or don't.

The feelings I have when I think about doing it seem good (like it would be smart), although, I have to say there is a lot of conditioned fear attached to it based on my beliefs about failure I suppose. My question is, is that still "feeling good" or is that a sign of feeling bad? Fear to me at the moment feels like a big physical knot in my stomach literally.

If I look at the emotions behind not doing it, I don't feel the knot in my stomach, but it almost seems like the easy way out. I start to think, perhaps the physical discomfort just means there's something else out there for me to do that would make me more comfortable with out any fears (i.e. no discomfort phsyically).

I think that all the wavering about decisions just makes things so much bigger than they need to be. However, up til now, that's been my conditioning. Question EVERYTHING ad nauseum. I'm working on trying to look at a situation that needs a decision, realizing what feels good, what I truly want, and proceeding without looking back. I suppose that this current glitch about the true meaning of feeling good would help me.

Does anyone have any insight into what "feeling good" is all about?
