In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing. —Theodore Roosevelt
Do you ever feel anxious when making a decision? 🙋🏻♀️
At some point, we all do.
Maybe you don’t trust yourself because of decisions you’ve made in the past.
Or maybe you’re afraid of making the wrong decision, so you hesitate. Delaying a decision is actually a huge decision…and it usually comes at a significant cost.
The worst is the lost opportunities for learning, growing, and moving forward.
I’ve missed out on experiences, relationships, and fulfillment simply because I delayed making a decision. 🤦🏼♀️
Then I found a tool to help me stop second-guessing myself and instead make empowered, authentic decisions.
The key is to ask yourself this question:
Am I making a condition-based decision or a vision-based decision?
Condition-based Decisions 🏡
A condition-based decision is driven by our circumstances.
We look at what is happening in our life and filter it through our internal survival mechanisms.
We analyze the status and levels of our current resources—health, career, finances, and relationships. Then we mix in our self-image and fears.
Yikes! It’s no wonder we struggle to make decisions…so many opinions and so much uncertainty.
Vision-based Decisions ✨
A vision-based decision is driven by the dreams we have for who we want to become and the foundational values we strive to live by. Knowing your vision and values means you can connect with your inner wisdom.
But what if you’re not sure of your life’s vision?
Then get very still, tune into your feelings, and ask yourself this question: Does this decision make me feel like I’m contracting or expanding?
If the answer is ‘expanding,’ AND it scares you…you are moving closer to your vision, even if you can’t fully name or describe it.
Fear is not a sign of something wrong. It simply tells you when you’re doing something different.
Fear is often a sign that you are stepping out of your comfort zone and moving in the right direction.
When you choose your vision, you can’t make a wrong decision…EVER!
It means you are honoring your divine spirit.
Will mistakes and missteps happen? Of course! But your vision will guide you toward the next right decision. 🎯
It Takes Practice…For All of Us ⏰
Not that long ago, I realized how tired I was of indecision and overthinking—cleverly disguised as. the “safe” life. It was NOT the life I wanted.
It was not the vision-based life I am called to live.
When I finally tuned into my vision, my decisions became instantly easier. I released my need for control and certainty.
I felt greater freedom and peace…and JOY!🎉
When I practiced vision-based thinking and decision-making, my life began to FLOW.
You can have a vision-based life, too.
It’s your time to follow your inner wisdom into a life meant for you—a life you LOVE.
