Ex: "take job in AZ. sell the house and move" breathe. then say "say no to job in AZ and stay put". say each aloud, feel how you feel when you say the alternative...then follow. (helps to talk over with my hubby too.) hope this helps you or someone else out there. comes down to intuition on some level really. trusting self/spirit to guide. ;p organic – but always very clear when it’s a green. feels right. sometimes if i am confused about two alternatives (yellow lights…just not sure), i will say each alternative aloud and tune into how i “feel” saying them…usually i can tell which is the direction for me by way i feel saying them.

I guess the one good thing to come from your decision time is that you know what your threshold is now, and that will help you find that job that allows you to extend it further. At least you have the vision to spot it - many don't, and that gives you a great advantage. Good luck with whatever you decide to do, fella.

I am at a point in my current job where my threshold may be very soon. One can only do so much in trying to encourage others to try new things or to be heard on topics that inspire yourself, but not others. Maybe it is time for me to move on to a new role that enables me to move towards what I want to do in my career. Have been spinning my wheels in my current role for way too long.

Of course, once you reach that, it then comes down to how disciplined you are at sticking to these cut offs...

How do you decide when it goes from yellow to green? Is there a method you use or is it a more organic approach? That’s a great analogy and method to use, Suzanne.

The part I think I struggle with is the part where decide you're either done with the idea because it's not working or you decide to adapt the idea further to try and make it work. I don't really know what the answer is there. You could just stop and move on and wonder what might have happened if you tried adapting. Or you could try adapting endlessly and never really get anywhere. Hmm...

(what good is asking if we don't listen) ;p great question. for me, simple answer.
