Head, Heart or Gut

I've been making a lot of pretty major decisions lately - or at least I've been trying to make them. My head, heart and gut are arguing over every decision and it's becoming annoying! But it's not as bad as people who let one body part always win in a decision.

I know some people who make all of their decisions with one body part (and I'm not talking about "that" one).

For example, if I am thinking about taking a camping trip across the country - just me and my dog - to places unknown, my body parts respond this way;
(Head) "Don't be crazy, you don't' know what you're going to be getting in to. You could die out there alone with only your dog". (My friends who only use their Heads rarely leave their comfort zone, which is no more than a 50 mile radius from their home.)

(Heart) "You know you love to travel and have some new adventures. You need to fill your soul with the beauty and serenity you'll find on this trip." (Friends who only use their Heart don't understand why hand-feeding a hungry shark ended badly. ("But they were so cute")

(Gut) "If you are even thinking of listening to your Head or Heart you need you head examined and a heart transplant. Nothing it all good or bad, you just have to be smart and prepare. What is worse is thinking later "I wish I had done that". Weigh your options and make a choice. Now, my gut also tells me there is room for another cream-filled donut and it won't hurt to try to do a flip on the trampoline, but that's another story.

Basically, I find that if I don't go through the process of listening to each body part, I can't come to the best decision for me. My gut is the mediator between my head and my heart. It's the voice of reason happily digesting a cream filled donut.
