Hi Angela,
In the past, when I've mused to my 'growed-up daughter' about not being sure whether I want to go ahead & do something or not, she's said,
"Do you think you'd regret it if you did it?
Do you think you'd regret it if you didn't do it?"Sometimes that's been useful for me.
Another thing I've noticed is that if I'm sort of 'wafffling' back & forth, sometimes the 'grown-up me' wants to do something, & if I get in touch with the 'inner little girl me' - she is scared about it, or bored, or something else. Sometimes it helps me to get in touch with that part & see if there is anything to be scared about, or to see if there's something that part of me wants to do, but I haven't been making time for (that my inner child part would like & is rebelling about not doing - hence she doesn't want to do this 'boring' thing).
I like the 'take what you want & leave the rest behind' way of looking at things.
hugs, Kath
