A long time ago a friend and I had a theory that a coin flip actually had merit in decision-making.
A coin flip is usually a way to make an unbiased choice. It's how it is decided who goes first, who gets the ball, etc.
It is not usually applied to huge life decisions...do you get married, do you have a baby, do you move away...but it could be a good tool to help you make that decision because lord knows you wouldn't make these decisions with a simple coin toss. That's just silly talk.
Are you still with me?
If you were to use a coin toss to help you make a decision it could help you clarify your thoughts. If you are unsure whether or not to marry Prince Charming, toss a coin.
Heads = yes, Tails = no. If you are uncomfortable or disappointed with the result of the coin toss then viola! Bobs your uncle. (Sorry, just talked to my Australian friend & we were comparing slang)
The point is that sometimes we get so caught up in our own b.s. that we confuse ourselves with too many facts, too many thoughts, too many emotions. Often, we just need to follow our instincts.
A simple coin can help us do just that.

Talking about coin tossing,have you seen Rozencrantz and Gildernstern are dead?
i needed this post (and a dozen more like it) today. not that i can use a coin to make decisions, right at the moment i don't have control of things to make a decision about. but, i am getting caught up in my own b.s. and it's started to drag me down.
