I hope you don't think I'm bashing you or trying to push you too hard to move on. I relate to things you are saying with not wanting to let go and that little voice telling me "not yet". I spun for a long time and hated the feeling. I felt stuck and I got really frustrated during this time.
We all do this on our own timeline and you'll know when you're ready to start moving. Do what you feel is in your best interest.
I think taking a little break and regrouping is a perfect plan. I like your core convictions + clear goals = plan of action.
What are some of your short term goals?
Another 'plan' saying that I like that sayitaintso has used with me is: Make a plan and make it happen. I actually have that hanging in my office now.
Personality is who the world sees, character is who you are
