The
good news:
Feeling stuck
and unable to
decide is rooted
in the mechanics
of the human
brain.
That’s
good news
because brain
science can
also light the
way to
decision
confidence
-
activating the
rational,
creative parts
of your brain. Read about that
here
To
begin
experimenting
with your own
decisions right
now, try asking…
- For
each option
I’m
considering,
what’s the
worst that
could happen
if I choose
that option?
What am I
afraid of?
- For
each of
those options,
what is
important to
me about that
option? What
would each
option make
possible?
These
insights will
allow you to
compare apples
to apples. Which
of the “worsts”
is “less worst?”
Which of the
values and
aspirations is
most important
to you?
Understanding
the
brain science
will help you
turn these
questions into a
practice you can
use whenever you
feel stuck about
a decision.
