You know how to stop spinning in circles?

Select Yes or No

Be clear on what it is that you want.

It has become clear to me that I can longer have a mindset of:

It doesn’t matter

Why? Because it does. I got into a little back & forth with a loved one the other day who was upset that I didn’t give a clear response. I left the decision in this persons hands. At the time, I didn’t understand why this loved one was so frustrated – because it really didn’t matter to me. It still doesn’t. However, I can relate to their perspective.

Think of a computer or using an AI tool. When you want it to help you for real – you get:

Very Specific

You also aren’t overly concerned of what that tool will think – as it has no feelings. I get that we need to be mindful of humans, but perhaps we need to be very clear with our words on what we do and don’t desire. Cut out the mind reading.

Get clear on your target by deciding where you are shooting your shot. If not, you will be all over the place and others will not know if they are hitting or missing with you. See decisiveness as an act of love.

Today, as I was taking action on personal to do’s. I kept thinking on this:

Delayed Decisions

I have a lot of decisions that I’ve just let stack up. Then that stack gets higher and it makes me not want to tackle any of the decisions – because it’s deemed as “too much”. When in actuality it isn’t.

My office had been very messy. Then I kept just throwing stuff all around making it messier. To the point that I was deliberately choosing to not tackle it. Welp, today I decided to tackle it and the mess wasn’t even that hard to conquer.

Do you struggle with making decisions and taking action?

Join me in the exercise of sitting down and just writing down all the decisions you need to make. Not a to do list. Decisions you need to make to get unstuck and stop going in circles.

For example, I have a laptop that has a broken screen. I have a few options on resolving it. I got stuck in trying to figure out which was the best option and then that led to me – doing nothing. I then just decided to go without a laptop. I’ve basically not had a working laptop for half a year. Why? Fear of not choosing right and also, cost.

This self reflection above is not to shame me, but to understand myself more so I can grow.

That laptop issue is going on my decision list. I’ve got a lot more decisions to make!

I’m excited to make these decisions and take aggressive action – so I can get onto higher level decision making.

I hope you decide smart & sure too!
