ohh, that's a good number.

in the past, making decisions has been a cause of tension for me.
it's been so easy for me to get wrapped up in the mind swirls of pros & cons & possible outcomes & what does it even matter? yaddah yaddah..
even the small decisions, like what to eat for lunch, could take me as much time as permitted.

i've been practicing the bold art of trusting my instincts, my initial impulses, my gut, my heart, my angels... trying to let go of control & into the flow.

i waited til the market was about to close before i went to buy my groceries. i was hoping to stay under $50. i stormed through the place in about ten.fifteen minutes (which is quick for someone with a nickname of slowelle).. not thinking about what was on sale & prices & checks & balances & all those pros & cons & possible outcomes & what does it even matter? yaddah yaddah

i was thinking, no time to calculate- what do i need? what do i want? i hope i stay under $50.

i left with everything i needed, almost everything i wanted, & a miraculous bill of $49.31.
oh, & a mysterious bonus i didn't notice til i got home- two free delicious energy bars.

i don't think [it could have gone any better had i used my mind].
