hesitation v. intuition

[gurdonark]

Over-thinking. The endless examination of possibility upon possibility. The working out of permutations. The drawing of inference from thin air, the reading of nothing as everything. I hate that gnawing sense that my mind is in overdrive,
and that I am glued to the wrong issues.

I much prefer intuition. The effortless awareness of what is coming next. The way in which the answer appears, just like the Holy Grail. The way in which all life is an endless implication, rich for my accurate inference. I love that redeeming sense that my mind is in overdrive, and that I skitter from right issue to right issue with a fluidity that a bat hunting insects possesses.

Today I feel a bit anxious, leaden and overthunk.
Tomorrow morning maybe I'll watch the 6 a.m.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer re-run. That must be a better expenditure of my time than endless "what if" thinking.

I do love it, though, when I read five year old correspondence, and what I actually said is what I think I said. That makes me feel so....intuitive.

1) I'm so intrigued with the idea of intution and our subconscious. There is so much going on at levels we are just not aware of. I think that intution (gut feeling) is the quick moment that our subconscious touches the conscious. We have to be tuned in to notice it but it is so lovely when we do.

2) I thought I was the only one that watched the early morning Buffy Re-runs!!! Silly of me to think I'm the only early riser, but sometimes I feel like I'm the only one awake. Yesterdays, was one I had actually missed the first time around soooooo... I was happy with the whole first time seeing Spike declare love for Buffy saga.

3) For me, thinking (too much) is hurtful. I easily spin off into something typically negative. Where ... if I just let the subconscious play its part things get handled so much easily.

So I guess what I'm saying is... YES! to your whole post! *smile*

Great comment. Thanks!

I am a "practical" person, but I love my non-practical "intuitive" streak. It's my one window into the side of the brain where all the cool stuff happens :)

Buffy is such a great show! Isn't it amazing how SM Gellar grew from a barely past a teen to a young woman before our eyes, and yet you only see it when you see the reruns?
