Make Better Decisions
Anxiety Is Not an Option
;)
Instead of worrying about whether you are making the right decision, practice being a commitment to having what you need and want. Sound strange? Well, it just means you can embody decisions that are right for you. For instance, a client of mine realized her work/life demands had left her drained - mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. She needed a work-free vacation. No laptop. No blackberry. No internet cafe. Just some real downtime for relaxation, fun, pleasure reading, and effortless sponteneous conversations. She had plenty of unused vacation time and said that two weeks of work-free vacation would revive her sense of herself - replenishing and rejuvenating her energy.
Still she was hesitant to take a work-free vacation because she worred about the constant stream of shifting priorities at work and all the emails that would flood her inbox if she didn't check it several times a day. So I invited her to use 4 Questions to Decide. Once she decided, we identified what next step she would take to embody her choice - the right decision for her. In another week she'll be enjoying her 10-day work-free vacation.
4 Question Approach
First, clearly state the decision you want or need to make. Write it down if that helps you to get clear. Then candidly answer these 4 questions.;)
- Is this something I want to be, do or have?
- Is being, doing or having this going to take me closer to what I want or need?
- Is being, doing or having this in harmony with the laws of the Universe?
- Is being, doing or having this going to violate the rights of others?
3 Yes's (to the first 3 questions) + 1 No (to the last question) = YES.
Fully commit to your decision. This is what wildly successful people know and routinely practice.
