The dilemma of decision making

Any decision that feels significant can cause anxiety

Why?

It's an investment

You're considering spending time and/or resource in the hope of a return

If there is uncertainty ('Will it be worth the money? Will I regret it?), analysis paralysis can set in

Here are the standard cures:

  • list the pros and cons.

  • try the 10/10/10 rule — how will I feel about this in 10 mins, 10 months, 10 years

  • talk with folks you trust

  • sleep on it

BUT!

... there is a Big Picture Cure which you can use Post Decision

You can ZOOM OUT

... and realise that the story you tell yourself is yours alone

Your mind will interpret, and it's up to you whether you want to accept that version

It IS a version
Not the version

A version

This is where your creativity can free you

Can you tell a better story?
