#makingdecisions

Lately, I’ve been actively working to unlearn a lot of the mindsets I was raised with, especially when it comes to making critical decisions. It's a struggle, let me tell you. Every time I face an important choice, I feel the weight of the world pressing down on me. I gather all the facts, list out my reasons, but then the self-doubt kicks in, and I catch myself asking for someone else’s opinion.

But guess what? Today, I found a tool that’s helped me start navigating this maze of anxiety, self-doubt, and the need for external validation.

Here's what I’ve been doing: grab your journal, open two pages, and follow this simple method:

On the first page, write down the situation you’re facing. Be honest and explain the possible consequences.

Leave a bit of space, and then write down the decision you've made and why you've made it.

On the second page, mark a date six months from now. Commit to revisiting your decision on that day to reflect on whether it turned out to be a good or bad one, and journal about what you’ve learned.

This has been a game changer. Every decision I make, I trust a little more. I no longer feel the need to second guess myself or seek approval from others. I’m slowly learning to trust my own process.

It’s all part of the journey, but I’m getting there—one confident decision at a time.
