How to make decisions 🤷‍♀️

Imagine this: You’re faced with two different paths, each leading to a unique destination. How can you tell which is the right choice? 🤷‍♀️

Today, let's dive into the exciting world of DECISION-MAKING. I'm here to sprinkle some magic into your decision-making process (it doesn’t have to be so stressful!), and together, we'll unlock the power to make choices that align with you! ✨🌈

Take a moment to close your eyes and let your imagination run wild. Picture yourself in each scenario and feel the emotions that arise. 😊🌺

As you embark on this imaginative journey, pay attention to your gut instinct—the fluttering feeling that knows what truly resonates with your soul. 🦋✨ Trust that your inner compass guides you toward the path that ignites your inner sparkle (or indigestion, just make sure which is which). 😜

Before automatically choosing the easier option - the safe bet, pause and ask yourself, "Am I just scared? Am I afraid of taking the bigger decision?" Remember, bravery is not the absence of fear but the courage to face it head-on. USE YOUR FEAR AS FUEL. 💪🌟

Consider this: Are you afraid of letting OTHERS down? Are you “SHOULDING” yourself into making the decision you don’t want? Remember, your journey is uniquely yours. Your choices should be driven by your hopes and aspirations. Let your light shine, and those around you will be inspired to do the same! In fact, they SHOULD be supporting your choices! ✨💖

Now, ask yourself: Will I be letting MYSELF down if I don't take the harder choice? Sometimes, the most rewarding experiences come from stepping out of our comfort zones (I am so over that phrase, btw) & embracing challenges that lead to growth. It's like finding hidden treasure within yourself! 🌟🗝️

And let's understand your options. It's not: Should I work out today? The option is to avoid getting OUT of doing a good thing. Of course, you're going to work out silly! So choose between cardio or weights. The option is between which good thing you'll choose! 👏👏

Here's an example of my process. I have the opportunity to go to the Paris '24 Olympics. Yes, it's in a year, but these things are planned way out. I've been to 4 already, and it's my PASSION to keep going. So after many emails, calls, and waiting, I finally got an offer. But I have to choose. Do I want to be the Operations Manager and oversee 15 reports and THE ENTIRE program? OR be one of the reports under them?

UGH. 🤦‍♀️

At first, I was like, NO WAY can I handle all that responsibility! I've never done that role before! What would I do? How could I even? I'll just take the smaller role. That's more my style. Just stay in my lane and let someone else do the work.

Butttttttt...then my inner confident conscious voice spoke up, and she said, "WHAT IF?'“ and “WHY NOT YOU?" So I envisioned myself in the leadership role, figuring it out, working with my team, growing & pushing myself, knowing it would lead to even more opportunities. Remember, someone else was in that role, and they are the same as you. You can do it, too & even better bc it’ll be your way! 🙋🏼‍♀️

And then I envisioned myself in the smaller role, playing it safe. 😅

And then crickets. I couldn't think of anything else good that would come out of taking a smaller role. But there was SO MUCH to be gained from taking the larger role. EVEN IF IT WAS SCARIER, IT MEANT MORE REWARD. 💯

Remember, your choice shapes your path and leads you closer to a life filled with joy, fulfillment, and purpose. Not regret. Trust your inner sun, my lovely gf, for it will guide you to the stars! ✨🌟

Save this email as a reminder of your inner power and when you need to hear me clapping you every 👏 step 👏 of 👏 the 👏 way!

Love you. Gotta go. Byeeeee! Go make that decision and let me know if this was of help!

And I’m just gonna make this an easy choice for ya. 🍪Cookies are always the right answer (and ice cream too, but that’s too hard to ship). Now you just have to decide which flavor, or go with the multi-pack, bc if you’re like me, you just want it all! 😋
