Making Decisions



Every day we make decisions, we make choices.
People often ask how to make good decisions?

The obvious answer might be through experience, but how does one get that kind of experience?

The not so obvious answer might be from bad choices.
Perhaps then, there are no mistakes, only lessons that give us experience. 
Each experience provides us the opportunity to learn and understand better our next decision. 

But aren’t mistakes wrong?
We’ve been conditioned to label mistakes as something wrong, negative and useless.
From there we think we are useless and talk negative about ourselves instead of seeing the mistake as a process to learn, a valuable education.



This education is an opportunity for growth but it seems that the biggest reason people have difficulty making decisions is because their fear of making the wrong choice. 
And that’s because it’s pounded into our heads that mistakes are very wrong and your a loser for making them.

So what do we do?
We try to protect ourselves instead of trust the learn process.
We line up lots of options and countless choices in order to avoid making a mistake. 
We tend to believe the more choices the better.

One of those endless choices has to be the right one.
It makes sense doesn’t it?
How can you go wrong if you covered all the bases?
But in reality, the more choices we have, the less likely we are to make a choice—and if we do make a choice, the less likely we are to be satisfied with it.

We throw everything at the wall hoping something will stick, it gets so muddled and confusing.
But there’s a better way.
If we limit the number of options and choices to the most relevant, we get a clearer understanding of what we really want. 

Instead of a sea of confusion, there are a select few of real answers.
By trusting your intuition and gut instinct your choices are easier to understand.
People who narrow their options and aren’t endlessly looking for that one best choice, turn out to be much happier and more successful. 

Our higher self has the experience and it has the answers.
Trusting our intuition helps us stay focused, guiding us to what’s most important and what distracting.



All we have to do is listen.
All we have to do is pay attention and trust our higher consciousness.

We spend so much time relying on the same thinking we’ve always used to solve issues that a new to us.
If we use our intuition to give us cues, we can learn truths and answers. that we never knew before.



If we want to make decisions, wise decisions, we need to be able to draw on the wisdom from our intuition and common sense.

As our higher consciousness offers intuition and we notice and pay attention to these promptings we will make wiser decisions.



This takes practice, with practice we gain a greater understanding, so when the important decisions need to be made, we are tuned in and prepared to make wise choices.



The more you practice tuning in to your inner voice the more trust you’ll have with it.
You will rely less on outside distractions because you will have developed a path, aligning your intuition with your decision making process.
