Feelings affect thinking and usually the best thinking comes out of a calm place. It might be the eye of a hurricane, but as much as possible, distractions, including strong emotions, must be turned way down.
Grieving is a time to forestall important decisions because sometimes emotions cannot be ignored.
It takes more time than we expect to achieve mental clarity following deep trauma and we don’t control the time.
Daily quiet times set the brain’s activities for the day. They allow feelings like fear and worry to be respectfully cared for through reading something helpful, praying (talking to God and giving him your junk) and counting blessings.
The best decisions come from a rested grateful brain free of addictions and resentments of one’s self and others.
Progress not perfection.
