hmmm.... I had a feeling!!! I don't think it's a problem though unless you find yourself talking back to them. :horror:

Yeah, well, I should be so lucky. I can't get a work in edgewise. Blabbermouths.

LMFAO..... ok circle, please stop my stomach hurts from laughing so hard!!

ok, so seriously then, lol, what would you do, to try and focus, on that gut feeling about life?

I don't know most of my gut feelings are more like preminitions to me (not like I see the future or anything) and they happen when I'm thinking about what to do about something, Or how I'm feeling. So I just tread slowly when they come. Like when i fele them I try and think about what point they are trying to make.. I hope I'm not coming off like a looney or something...LOL

For me, I write. I start with a blank paper - or blank screen - and just write until a flow starts. Eventually your thoughts will surface and flow through the pen (or keyboard) without effort. Not at first, but if you just start and maybe list out interesting notes or tidbits going on in your life or floating around in your mind... then other things make their way to the top.

Writing is a great way to gain clarity. Or it works for me!

Ah-hahahaha! VERY good, Independent! Just slid the ad right in there without ruffling even a feather of the topic and at the BEST possble moment.

Expect PMs!

There are myriad ways, Circle. Google "meditation" to see a few hundred thousand.

But be clear on this distinction: The point of "focusing," as I think you mean it, is NOT to filter out, but to LET IN. Then -- most important -- let go. Just let your thoughts, undistracted by external unfluences of any sort, come and go as they will without attaching any comments or judgments to any of them. Just observe them without trying to guide them. Shortly, you'll begin to perceive patterns that will clue you how to proceed next.

(laugh) It wasnt really an "ad" as I make nothing off of that book myself. It was written by someone that I know though, and so I was given a copy when it first went to print. I really enjoyed it. Her and I dont work together even indirectly anymore, so it was just an honest recommendation.

;)

I know. Just couldn't resist spinning it as a commercial plug.
