Mindful Decision-Making
So you can save your energy, time, and emotions for other "better" things.
Before coaching, I was a tormented decision-maker.
I wanted to always make the “best“ decision. I spent time, energy, and lots of angsty emotion weighing options.
The “best” decision was the one that would have the "best" outcome - much of which was out of my control.
Deep down I believed that whether it was a good decision or not was based on how it turned out in the future.
This did not lead me to a life of calm or feeling in control.
And because decisions tormented me, I wanted others in my inner sphere to weigh in and help out and to share my burden.
I wanted them to like the decision also.
Mindfulness, intention, and mindset work led me to much more easeful decision-making.
One where decisions are more simple.
For me and everyone else.
Now, when evaluating a decision, I focus on how I WANT to feel in the future.
This helps guide me from a place of alignment and clarity.
Without drama and trying to control things that I cannot.
I also go back to my favorite question — what would LOVE do?
For me, for others, and for the world.
Today a client shared her successful experience feeling grounded and compassionate in making a big decision.
She was able to use her personal version of these same tools (and a few more.)
With mindfulness, attention, and intention, she was able to see clearly, feel grounded and compassionate, and trust herself to “choose her choice”
All in alignment with what is most important to her in this season of her life.
This doesn’t mean it will turn out perfectly.
It means she will feel, as she does already, at peace with her decision.
When you move forward
Deliberately
With clarity
Intention
Compassion
And purpose.
Connected with how you want to feel
and what’s important.
Decisions are just a decision.
A fork in the road.
Once made, they are done.
You move forward having your own back
trusting yourself and your journey -
with much less second-guessing.
If you do second guess— as is a lifelong bad habit for some of us— you can easefully course-correct.
Even better- from this decision-making space, it’s natural to move right into making the decision you made “the right one.”
This is the fun part.
You decide it is the right one and act from that place.
And then it becomes right.
Even if you choose to course correct later.
Letting go of decision-making drama is life-changing, compassionate, loving, and efficient.
Once you figure it out it’s amazing.
It’s the best kind of "Decluttering."
It leads to freedom
Energy
Time
space
And more decluttering.
Learning how is a bit of a journey but as my client and I will both tell you
it’s well worth it.
Freedom, peace, living, and loving are on the other side.
