Rx: When You Don’t Know What To Do

There are times in our lives when we are at a standstill. We are at a crossroads that requires us to make choices, and we don’t know what to do.

At these times, I remember some good advice I once received. “Never make a decision until you have at least three choices, one of which may be totally unacceptable.”

Here are some suggestions I have found helpful for this process.

• Get a good night’s sleep.
• Retreat into silence in your sacred space.
• Ask for help.
• Listen.
• Make a list of possible choices.
• Make a list of pros and cons.
• Consider the consequences of each.
• Consult with a trusted friend or professional.
• Pay attention to your feelings.
• Pay attention to your intuition.
• Be willing to wait until you know what to do.
• When you know what to do, do it and move on.
