We’ve all been there. You’re faced with a tough life altering decision. Therefore, that proverbial fork in the road is staring you down. The unknown is scary and knowing your life will be affected by your choice is even scarier.
The Mission: Providing you 6 Simple Steps to Making Tough Life Altering Decisions
Follow the GUIDE to make Life Decisions.
Some of it may work for you and some may not. Everyone is different and walks their path their own way.
- Weigh out your Options
- Think clearly about the pros and cons. What decision resonates with you the most? Make a list – it always help to see it right in front of you.
- Talk it Out
- Talk to family and friends. They won’t tell you what to do, but you need to get it out and hear an outsider’s perspective.
- Clear Your Mind
- Meditate, journal, run, paint, drive, sing, listen to music, make pro and con list, etc. Do whatever it is to clear your mind. Sometimes the answers come when you’re not constantly thinking about the problem.
- Trust Your Gut
- If you are obsessively stressing over one of the choices, consider that that choice isn’t the best one for you.
- Have Faith
- Know that no matter what choice you make it will be the right one for you at this time in your life. Trust your destiny. Trust your fate.
- Do Your Research, but Take it for a Grain of Salt
- Take all the online quizzes you want. Read all the blog articles you can. Just remember that the choice is ultimately YOURS and yours alone. See where your mind wanders when you research and ponder your decision. Are you looking for a negative response towards one of your choices? Then right there is your answer. Flip a coin… if it comes up in a way you didn’t want, don’t you always say “OK, best two out of three”? That’s an answer there too.
The Moral: No matter what you’re going through and no matter how long it takes to reach a decision, trust the process and be patient with yourself. It will be a hard road to walk and you will begin to question life and your purpose. There’s no shame in waiting for the clarity that you desire. Once that comes, the light at the end of the tunnel WILL appear and you will gain back your confidence to move forward again.
