Discover How to Get Clarity and Out of Decision Making Paralysis
Do you ever feel like you're stuck between decisions, and you don't know what to choose?
You're wondering, “Which choice is the right choice for me?”
And a lot of times this comes when you're trying to create that life that you want. You’re probably worried about making a mistake choosing that makes your life not so great, right? (P.S. You can’t…there are no mistakes – but that’s a whole chit chat for another time.)
So you’re going round and round in your head, right? And asking lots of questions like…
Which direction do I go?
Which one sounds the best?
Which one's gonna work out?
What is the least risk?
What's the most reward?
What's gonna make me happiest?
Well, here's a little practice for you that I trust will help you out a lot, just as it has helped my and my students.
Instead of focusing on trying to figure it out, just get into gratitude for the things you have in your life right now. Yes, that is all – nothing complex. It’s even as simple as being grateful even that you have SO many choices available to you. That you have the freedom, power, and ability TO CHOOSE.
When you focus on gratitude you are in the energy of receiving.
Now, when most coaches and people talk about gratitude, they’re typically looking at the energy of gratitude in relation to receiving material things or relationships.
However, gratitude is so much more expansive than that. Gratitude is the energy of receiving thoughts, ideas, clarity, and inspiration, too.
I wonder if you’ve considered that gratitude opens the path to you to receive the clarity you're looking for with the choices you're trying to make in your life. Of course, getting quiet and listening to your heart helps a whole lot, too, but that's another episode.
But in order to receive that clarity, you’ll want to open your ears and heart and mind.
Sometimes the messages and clarity that the energy of gratitude will deliver to you can be really subtle. And other times it could be like getting hit by a 2x4. Either way, PAY ATTENTION so you don’t miss it.
So the next time you’re at a fork in the road and are going round and round in the round room on what choice to make…
Experiment with getting thankful, embodying the energy of receiving, and opening up your ears, mind, and heart to hear what then comes to you for clarity and guidance.
