Indecision –

One of the things I feel is most debilitating in any situation is waffling in indecision. It robs such precious energy and oftentimes creates angst we need not endure. Certainly once we make a choice, or a decision there can be other feelings that creep in as well as other internal dialogue. It is so easy to say do not listen to those voices because they are as bad as the disruptions of indecision. I know that there have been far too many times in my life or the life of my business where by waiting to choose the opportunity just flew by or went to someone else.

There are many layers beneath a decision and some of them are not easy choices or something that you can make instantly. It is important to get into the practice of making a choice and living with how it turns out. Do this without any self-judgment or condemnation if it has a different outcome than you thought. The more often we begin to be ok with making decisions or choices sooner the easier it becomes. Quick corrections or quick celebrations begin to happen!

The practice of making a choice immediately eliminates all the angst about our indecisions. Major ones might require a decision analysis – marriage, career change, how to handle situations with parents as they age, a cross-country or international move, etc. Anything that is life changing in any way requires a moment. Go for it!

If you begin to think of your decisions as an experience just waiting to show you more of life and living it might get easier. Just choose!
