I really like no. 1, the card game - a great mix of serendipity and intuition. I find that no. 5 is usually the opposite of what I need though. At these times, I seek solitude in nature, no distractions and in the silence, re-connecting with what I know to be true for me and allowing something new to unfold. But before I allow myself that, I may watch a whole season of Greys Anatomy LOL !

The 40s are a great time for taking a real look at the "rest of your life". You know my philosophy: Think before you act, accept responsibility for your decisions, do not regret your choices, learn from them!

I can add strategies: Yesterday I was reading an article in which the woman author asked herself, "How am I doing <em>right now</em>?" What do I want to do <em>right now</em>?" This helps. Not looking too far forward or too far back... just here and now. For me, too, this phase always passes very quickly once there are new options... so am generating lots of new options. Hi, Jen!
