There are times in my life when I've allowed my Personal Guidance System (PGS) to guide me effortlessly.
('Effortlessly?!!', my husband cries: 'You kept me hanging for 6 months!').
Okay, so not *effortlessly*.
But the decision to marry, in the end, did *feel* effortless - ONCE, I let my intellectual reasonings take a back seat and let my PGS go to work.
It seems to me it's the human condition to tussle with the intellect from time to time (okay, make that a lot of the day - or at least it certainly used to be for me...).
But what I love seeing more and more is that the quiet voice of my PGS is always there, if I'm willing to listen. And the willingness to listen is becoming more of a default, as, having played with it, and tried and tested it, it never lets me down.
When I'm in struggle or in discomfort and not sure how to proceed, it's a sure sign it might be time to turn to my PGS for guidance.
A common point of struggle or discomfort could be feeling stumped by my four year old's behaviour, but it could equally be feeling confused as to how proceed with a challenging relationship, or feeling stumped as to how to make a decision.
The quickest way to access my PGS' wisdom is to ask consciously or unconsciously, out loud or just in the quietness/ tumult of my mind:
'What would love do?'
The answer is always absolutely obvious. Clear as day. And normally quite straightforward.
What would love do?
This.
And this.
And this.
My very own Personal Guidance System in motion.
The intellectual wranglings can be addictive. And part of our journey. Nothing wrong with them if that's the way things go in that moment.
But if you ever want out of the exhausting circling thinking - try out your own PGS - we all have one.
Ask yourself:
