Indecision

Hey Janika here.

Every day we're making decisions that impact our story and these decisions include everything that forms the path of our day from the smallest to the biggest impact

You know, the what am I going to eat for breakfast type of decision to the I don't want to stay in this job type of decision.

It's the whole range.

And they really do range in their ability to truly affect our narrative.

So it's no wonder that sometimes we find ourselves falling into this pit of indecision.

And then, when we're in that pit, we beat ourselves up for that too.

When we go back and forth, and we're unable to commit to either option, we feel terrible, frustrated.

And it makes you feel crazy, like you don't even know yourself, or what you want, or why you're doing all of this at all.

And then the guilt and fear comes in.

So what if I make the wrong decision?

What if I screw it all up and it's all for nothing?

What if my life will never be the same again?

Sound familiar?

Good.

Let's explore this.

So to kick us off, let's just take a deep breath.

Let's sink into our bodies and just get comfortable in our space that we're in right here, right now.

And you know the drill, I'm going to get you to drop your shoulders and loosen your jaw and let out a big releasing exhale when you're ready.

Good.

So when I think about indecision, I think about it in two pieces, or rather, there's two pieces of its puzzle.

The first is trust.

If we're indecisive on something, we can't make our minds up on it.

But it's so rare that we don't actually know what we truly want.

And for some of us, we just have an A, ask ourselves

to answer honestly, b. we just haven't listened to ourselves properly, or c. we just didn't trust our own response.

So let's start there.

Ask yourself the question, what do I want?

And pay attention to your response and listen to not only your mind but also your body and more importantly your heart.

There is always one route that calls to those elements more than the other.

We just have to listen and trust.

So now you likely know the answer that your heart wants, the decision or choice your whole body is after, but then it's important to kick out any doubt out the window.

Trust that you know yourself better than anyone else to make that choice.

Now, the second piece of the puzzle that I think about when it comes to indecision is faith.

And that word can stir up a mix of emotions in different people, so let me explain it in this context.

Have faith that the universe, or whatever you'd like to call it in the spot of the universe, will direct you in the right direction.

So that your story, your purpose, your life has meaning, and that the decisions that you make, as long as you are following your heart, will be accurate for you in your journey.

Even when we make mistakes, because sometimes those mistakes and those choices, they were required to push us in a certain direction.

So having faith really releases that knot of indecision because you not only trust yourself, but you can also trust in something higher than yourself.

So as you stand at the crossroads of indecision when you're trying to make a choice, just take a moment to breathe and ask yourself, what do I truly want?

And listen, really listen to the response that's coming through.

Trust in your ability to make choices that align with who you are.

And then, let faith be your companion and know that as long as you follow your heart, you're not navigating the journey alone.

And that most times, it works out even better than you expected.
