Our thoughts, feelings, reactions--all influence our decisions.
Regarding our health, job, friendships, education, marriage, starting a family, bringing home a new pet, divorce, separation, a large purchase, a big move--big decisions--it is important to make them with confidence.
To gain that confidence, do the research.
- What does your gut say?
- Is it right for you?
- Does it seem meaningful?
- Does it seem like a weight is lifting off your shoulders just thinking about it?
- Does it excite you? Or, at least, does it give you some relief?
- Is it practical--can you afford it?
- Will it bring financial hardship?
- If so, how can you prepare ahead of time to ease the burden?
- Who can help?
These are just some of the questions to ask yourself. I'm sure you can come up with others specifically suited to your situation. Answering them will help you get clear on what you want, what's at stake and how you can move forward in a healthy, meaningful, and productive manner.
Are you faced with an important decision? Do that research. Listen to your gut.
Or, have you made an important decision in the past? What happened? Did you tackle it with confidence? - Did it not turn out so well? If so, what did you learn from the experience?
or
- Did you succeed beyond your wildest dreams? What have you done to keep up that momentum?
I'd love to hear your experiences with decision making, and particularly how it was connected to your confidence level.
Have an amazing week. I'll catch you back here next Sunday. Take care.
