20 Jan How To Make Any Major Life Decision Seem Like a Piece of Cake
Life is unpredictable and full of choices
There are times in life when you’re gonna face difficult decisions. Often, it may seem impossible to make the right decision, especially when others or your future are involved. Sometimes you want to juggle too many things at once, other times you’re cutting corners to achieve your goals faster.
It would be great to have a step-by-step idiot-proof plan to get from point A to point B. But alas, that’s often not the case.
It may seem like the more we try to grab the reins on our lives, the more we drive ourselves nuts. There’s no tutorial on the choices to make to live your best life, and that’s the fun part. You get to write your own story.
What comes next depends on the types of actions, thoughts, and words we choose today.
The future is dynamic and if we try to control our environment to achieve an outcome, we close the doors to countless possibilities. We become inflexible and blind to other options.
I’ve done a lot of thinking and came up with a few tips on how to handle difficult life decisions from my own experience.
1. Be absolutely sure about your intentions
We’re destined to get different results if we make decisions from a place of fear, love, or anger. More positive intentions lead to positive environments and outcomes. Even when you’re feeling demotivated like your choices don’t matter, they do.
Doing things with the right mindset, ultimately, leads you to experience an epiphany. You’ll begin to open yourself to new possibilities and thrive. When you start acting with the right intentions, you’ll feel more secure and worthy of your new reality.
2. Don’t seek external validation
It’s your life. These are your choices. Only you will live with the decisions you’ve taken. Looking for validation from others is the quickest way to disappointment. You’ll never truly unlock your potential if you let others influence you too much. Turn your ambitious goals and beautiful dreams into reality, and you won’t regret it in the future. You should only seek approval from yourself.
3. Imagine it before doing it
A sure way to follow your instinct on a decision is to play it out in your head beforehand. Sit down on a comfortable surface and replay the different scenarios in your mind, keeping a close eye on your reaction to each thought. That sensation you feel deep down in your gut is your intuition voicing its opinion. Listen to it, because it’s right most of the time.
4. Consult yourself on the right move
The first step to understanding if a decision is the right one, release your attachment from the outcome. Be spontaneous and do what feels right at the moment. Your enthusiasm will be your guide in acting according to your preference. Then, at each step, re-evaluate your state of mind and figure out the next step following your intuition and excitement until you hit the target.
What you should do is feel genuine and authentic to your ambitions. If it doesn’t come easy, then you probably took a small detour and need to get back on track, taking your time to explore the surroundings on the way.
Focusing on the next right step while enjoying the moment will ensure a pleasant journey. And a positive outcome.
Life should be natural and enjoyable, not a step-by-step plan, where’s the fun in that?
