We have choice after choice which can seem overwhelming at times. To really look into my heart and soul, find out what is really needed can become clouded by the myriad opinions that people have. I am learning how to listen and really pay attention though. I too tend to obsess about things sometimes, and I feel you, big time, about holding my position on certain things, it feels scary. Grace, honesty, respect, trust and humility have to be in the forefront so that we can see and respond fearlessly. I want to respond from a place of love rather than fear. I too can be easily swayed at times, because I am very empathetic, but if I get honest, I fear what others think of me, and while I am in fact extremely emtathetic, I am not usually, when it comes to me and my circumstance, though this is changing rapidly, and it feels very uncomfortable in moments. I feel the conflict in my body, yet it also feels correct. I am growing!!!!! So are you :) I am choosing to trust my intuition, and my higher self to lead me in the right direction (even though there is no "right" or "wrong" (semantics)). Confusion is natural I think. well, it is for me anyway, but clarity is more prevalent than it once was. Hooooooray!

I think a lot about what others may be thinking, I tend to obsess about things sometimes. Right now I am challenged with holding my position in areas of my life that I want to and should stick up for myself on, and to do so gracefully. I am easily swayed, reveal my own faults. Sometimes I swoon into easily changing my mind, and I struggle with feelings of guilt and self-reproach for taking a stand. On the other hand, when I'm feeling stubborn, it IS hard to be magnanimous when my gut reaction is "Hey! That's not cool!!!" But there are times when that reaction is justified, isn't it? Maybe, at least for me, it's about picking my battles and owning what really is important to me and letting the really trivial things fade into the background. Ironically, my correct responses seem to be reversed sometimes- i'm stubborn on the silly things and fickle on the big stuff, and sometimes just get all confused. I too am a weirdo, arline.
