What if you just accepted that you are?
Feels a bit risky doesn’t it. Maybe even arrogant. To just accept that you know what you’re doing. Without touching wood. Or going over it in your head another 10 times. Or asking other people’s opinions.
3 reasons I think you know what you’re doing
There are 3 reasons why I feel confident suggesting you accept that you’re making the right decisions about your life.
1. There is really no such thing as a “right” choice in the way that we pressure ourselves to pick “the right thing for me.” There are just choices that create different outcomes and lead you down different paths. Sometimes the benefits of one choice might be more difficult to see at first but they are always there.
2. What makes a good decision is not the choice itself – but whether you commit to it. We can spend days fretting about the “right” choice. But it’s not the decision that makes something “right,” it’s whether you go all in. That’s what will make it work in the end.
3, The more self doubt, overthinking, worrying we include in our decision making process, the more inefficient, inaccurate and exhausting it becomes. Wasting time on overthinking and self-doubt are really the only wrong decisions.
The right decisions
Trying to get things ‘right’ is actually a form of perfectionism. And perfectionism is about the shame that drives us to feel like we aren’t worthy or lovable or good enough if we don’t get everything right.
You’re worthy and lovable and good enough just as you are. And you’re capable of making any decision you take work for you. And it can be life changing to move through your reality seeing things through that perspective instead of the energy-sapping, painful pressure to get things right.
Self-trust is what bridges the gap between “I have to make the right decision” and “Whatever decision I make will be right.” This shift is so incredibly liberating. Can you imagine not having to stress and worry over what to do next?
Luckily you don’t have to imagine it because I can help you make this self-trust-driven form of decision making your new normal. It’s resilience 101. Book a free intro call with me and let’s chat about it.
