Going Gentle: Don't Get Stuck in Indecision!

Are You Getting Stuck in Indecision? 

Welcome back to Going Gentle, where we talk about every day strategies to decrease our stress and increase our peace! 

Have you ever found yourself stuck in the decision making process and you're just not sure which way to go with something? We've all been there, right? But how frequently does this happen? Every day? 

It can help to have reliable strategies to help ourselves get UNSTUCK while in the process of deciding what to do in any given situation. 

For more complex issues, it can help to compare the Pros with the Cons. Writing down the details of what you are deciding and making it visual can sometimes make all the difference. (I talk about this more in the video.)

One of the issues and keys to making an informed decision is to GET Clarity on the issue you're addressing. 
Sometimes writing down and/or keeping track of your decisions and why you made them and then looking back on how it turned out can turn out to be a learning process so you can get more strategic next time! 

I talk about other ways to make decision making easier in the video, so you're welcome to check it out! 

Nothing is more challenging than feeling STUCK, because we want to get UNstuck ASAP but we're often uncertain as to how. 
It can help to trust ourselves more by looking back on where we went right with decisions in the past; so take the time to reflect! It might just give you the clue you're looking for! 

Journaling Prompt: 
What was your most recent success with making a decision. Detail the ins and outs of the context, any relationship impacted, and why it went right. 

Now contrast that with a decision that went inevitably wrong and where you got derailed in the process of that decision. What didn't you see coming? What did you learn from that decision so you can avoid that same trajectory next time? 
Don't beat yourself up when your decision doesn't work out. Just Learn and Live! 
​And remember that Gentle is Magic!
