Throughout your day you will make hundreds of different decisions. Making the right decision has always been considered the most difficult to get right.

Instead of engaging your logical thinking mind to make the decisions, try using your inner guidance to guide you into making the correct decision.

Abraham-Hicks shared with us that we have something called an Emotional Guidance System. It is this system that you can feel when you walk into a room with “bad vibes”.

How do you know a room has “bad vibes”?

That’s your emotional guidance system in action!

The emotions that you feel are your emotional guidance system. When you feel bad, bad things are on their way. When you feel good, you’re moving towards something that will please you.

Your emotions are quite simply the best way to make accurate decisions.

Let’s say for a moment that you get offered a new job. Ask yourself, “how do I feel?”. If you feel good about it, then this job is in perfect alignment with you and you will be moving towards things that give you more pleasure and more great feelings.

On the flip side of the coin, if you don’t feel good about the new job offering, or if you don’t feel much of anything at all about it, then that job is not in alignment with what you’ve been saying you want. It will not yield you joyful and blissful situations.

Recently, I hired a virtual staff member to help me run part of my business. I had narrowed my search down to two different people. One of the candidates had far more experience than the other. It would have been far too easy for me to go with my logical thinking brain and to simply have hired the more qualified person.

Instead of using my logical brain, I followed my emotions. The candidate with the least experience actually felt much better to me. In fact, we hit it off great!

The person with most experience didn’t give me any good feelings at all. I would have described the feelings felt around this person as “neutral”. As I discussed in a recent blog post, Neutral Emotions Are Negative Emotions, so neutral can be considered the same as bad.

So, I followed my emotional guidance system and hired the less skilled employee.

And the results?

We’ve been getting on great! This new person has been putting in way more hours than I expected and is completely over-delivering. Our relationship is steadily growing and I’m feeling very optimistic about what’s ahead. All in all, I made what I consider to be a very good decision.

I’ll never know for sure what would have happened if I had of hired the other candidate. Maybe his performance would have been just as good, maybe not? Focusing on the past is not productive, so I choose not to give it my attention.

Another example of when I used my emotional guidance system recently was when I was looking over an Internet marketing forum I visit now and then… Someone has posted a new thread saying that they will take on 10 people and coach them to make $100,000 per year business. The cost? Nothing, nada, zilch.

Of course, it sounded too good to be true, but never the less, it aroused my curiosity and I read the post. Immediately I could feel that it wasn’t something that would bring me any joy what-so-ever. In fact, it made me feel pretty bad!

My logical mind on the other hand was going in over-drive…

“Everyone would like a $100,000 business, why not just signup and see?”
“This guy wants nothing to get started! That’s nothing for $100k!”
“Let’s go for it!”
Etc.

Instead of listening to those thoughts, I passed on the opportunity very quickly and went on to read something that was more in alignment with what I was vibrating.

The message I’m trying to convey is stop listening to that logical mind no matter what is presented in front of you. No matter how good it sounds to that logical mind. Resist the temptation and follow your feelings. Always follow your feelings.
