"In thinking about our day we may face indecision. We may not be able to determine which course to take. Here we ask God for inspiration, an intuitive thought or a decision. We relax and take it easy. We don't struggle. We are often surprised how the right answers come after we have tried this for a while."
Why does this work?
I believe it works because when I really want to think, when I reckon it's really important that I "think this one through" is when I most need to avoid it. At these times I tend to think in sprials - up and down.
The simple act of asking something outside of myself to help me (corporeal or otherwise), allows me to slow down just that little bit. In the slowing down, more rational thoughts tend to flow.
Like any muscle or organ, sometimes I need to exercise my brain, and, more often than I choose of my own free will, I need to rest it.
I need the discipline of routine to help me relax it (God knows it will happily exercise me to death!)
