Remember, you're not deciding to make final vows, you're simply taking the next step in choosing a particular community. People are often very fearful in these early stages of discernment. Address your fears head on and don't let them paralyze you. It's natural to feel some anxiety during this period of decision-making. Be sure to get plenty of sleep and exercise and eat nutritiously.
Discernment is a two-way process.
Spend time with the community so you can get to know each other and better make a decision together.
