Is Hesitation A Dork Impulse?
Manage episode 417269096 series 3469310
Hesitation is such a common yet fleeting feeling, often occurring mere moments before an ultimate decision. This instinctive pause is intertwined with moral choices, offering us a moment to confirm where we stand on the spectrum of good and bad, right and wrong. Hesitation can be the difference between cautious wisdom and paralyzing fear, as it taps into your primitive flight/fight/freeze response, often exacerbated by anxiety.
Søren Kierkegaard described anxiety as “the dizziness of freedom,” capturing how existential freedom and responsibility can lead to hesitation or paralysis in making significant life decisions. Meanwhile, Martin Heidegger’s notion of resoluteness — the act of being true to oneself by overcoming hesitation to act authentically — serves as an antidote to the paralysis hesitation can induce.
If you listened to our April and May astrology forecasts, you know that old patterns are coming to a head right now while we adjust to the wave of new energies coming in. Under the influence of new possibilities and life directions on the horizon, hesitation is a natural part of the process, giving us the space to align our intentions with our actions as we navigate moral and existential choices.
What's making you hesitate right now? Do you feel like a dork for hesitating? (We apologize in advance for the amount of times we say dork in this episode.)
