Acceptance of the True Will
-
Greetings SophiaLVX,
"My question is this. Does anyone have a way that they go about overcoming deeply-rooted, but essentially unhelpful ideas about what "should" be done in order to take specific action. Is the "ripping off a bandaid method" the only way to go here (i.e. just take a deep breath, get some balls, and do what I know i need to no matter whether it hurts or feels hinky), or is there some other way to prepare myself (accept) this kind of cognitive dissonance? "
There are many methods and tools for overcoming just about anything, with enough diligence and desire. However, it sounds like you are looking for a 'fast and dirty' method in order to get through this 'vague' situation to which you find yourself.
Personally, the best methods are truth, honesty and integrity. Best to simply address the situation from your place of truth [which in many ways aligns you more or less to your true will] and then with calm endurance and compassion work out whatever is 'blocking' your flow, whether that be through discussion or specific work.
But, always...**'to thine own self be true!'

Thanks--I actually really wanted some abstract advice with an outside perspective--been getting too much nosy/specific advice from people I know.
I know what I have to do. Hopefully today is the day. Wish me luck. (Though I've got Kali and Artemis batting for me so I guess I can't loose
). -
Isis be with you!

You've certainly gotten some good advice already, but I thought I'd throw in one more thing about unraveling the "shoulds": Ask yourself what it would mean about you as a person if you did the "right" thing, and what it would mean about you as a person if you did the "wrong" thing. Don't censor yourself when answering these questions--let the "automatic" responses come. By doing this, you may expose (and therefore understand, and possibly begin to heal) a deeper level of identity-clinging, shame, fear, and so on.

Yes it was...and it would be interesting to hear what the final result was in this magical equation.

"I think things are going well. I did a small ritual, got up my nerve and did what I thought was right. We'll see what happens when the dust settles, but actually things are progressing a lot more easily than I expected or thought possible. "
Excellent. As they say, 'success is thy proof.'

^no joke. every day this gets more "bizarre". things i could not have anticipated are falling into line to help this path of events along in the simplest way imaginable. since my initial declaration i haven't really had to put any effort into getting what i wanted to happen. its like all i had to do was "give the word" and the world was ready and waiting to cooperate. opportunities are throwing themselves down at my feet, and expected obstacles disappear like smoke! i feel like i have no right to be this astounded, but i am.
maybe when all this is done with and set in stone i can give more concrete examples so yall can be amazed right along with me.
