Do Choices Feel Like Drag Races or Mazes to You? - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites Podcast
Do you sometimes feel like the future is a maze of too many choices?
It can be daunting to wake up in the morning, knowing you have a big decision to make. There are rarely just two choices, and when you start comparing other people’s input to decide which one is empirically right, it can feel overwhelming. Here’s an idea – instead of weighing the pros and the cons of each choice, compare how the different choices feel to you.
Sit with one choice for a while…pretend that you’ve already made that choice and you’re living the life you’ll live afterwards. Play with that in your mind: where are you living, who is around you, what are you doing, and how is all of this making you feel? Write down the feelings you feel after making that choice. Now, shake that fantasy off and mentally make another choice, then do the same thing. Pretend you’re living that life now…how does that make you feel?
These mental movies that you create are very powerful when you’re honest with yourself and when you focus on how the movies make you feel instead of focusing on everyone else’s input. Repeat the process with each different possible choice, and suddenly the maze of choices feels more like a drag strip, and one choice is the clear winner.
Yay, you!
