The mind gets clouded when decisions have to be made in the middle of difficult times. You could be mourning the loss of a loved-one, or having a financial crisis of tremendous magnitude, and yet, it so happens that decisions still have to be made and sometimes, it can not wait for you to be done with honoring your losses.
It’s tough. I know.
I’m giving you the following pointers in order to help your decision-making process:
- As simple as this may sound, it is not often easy to do. ASK FOR HELP.
- Don’t go at it alone.
- Surround yourself with listeners and NOT opinion givers.
- Brainstorm, loud and proud.
- Look for the “What Ifs” of each situation.
- For each decision you must make, grab a piece of paper and pen, draw a vertical line in the middle of the blank page and separate the UPS and DOWNS of each situation. Don’t analyze, simply write. At the end you’ll see which column has more pros than cons.
- Give yourself credit for every victory, no matter how small. You deserve to be honored, and it starts with you.
- Look inward, know your strengths, and speak to the ONE SOURCE of energy that gives you focus and a mighty dose of courage. It is in tough times where making decisions is a must do, that you must find your courage no matter how deep you have to dig. It is there. Trust with all your might that you have the courage that it takes to do what you have to do and you will proceed with ease and confidence.
As I said before, ask for help and don’t go at it alone. if you need more inspiration, stop by this blog and follow the simple steps. Leave me a note, I will personally reply to you and help you in any way I can.
‘Till our paths cross again (which I know it will be soon!)
