Knowing how the actual science of decision making works, really helps in building a foundation for making good decisions, and making good decisions is the foundation for not just everything in daily life, but also for your business.
How do we stop anxiety from intruding on our decisions?
Be mindful.
Mindfulness is a muscle.
It strengthens the front of the brain, allowing you to make more grounded, relevant decisions!
The ability to be mindful actually limits the influence of things that don’t matter, so you can move onto the things that do. Isn’t that amazing?
We talk about mindset a lot, mindfulness is a huge part of strengthening our mindset.
Where is the anxiety and indecision really coming from?
Stress triggers distraction and engages the part of the brain that confuses decision making.
How would you make decisions if you KNEW there was not a wrong decision?
Anxiety can trick you into thinking one choice is good and the other is bad, when really, either might be good.
If you’re feeling really stuck between two, it likely is a sign that neither is wrong. Isn’t that a calming thought?
Once you have your choices narrowed down ot one, and you make your decision, you’lll start organizing your environment, your behavior, and your responses to make sure it works out.
Let’s use a couple getting married for an example…
Once they choose their venue, now more things they can do become “unlocked”. They can now do invites, event times, surrounding location choices such as hotel blocks… then they can move onto the next steps automatically. It’s a “one foot in front of the other” approach.
Let’s think about something in your business the same way. The decision you’re trying to make is what direction to go in next for your marketing. Is it maximizing your SEO? Your FB engagement? Your Instagram? Speaking of IG, is it stories, reels, newsfeed, IGTV, guides, redoing your bio, redoing your bio link? Is it being more present on Pinterest? Is it working on your network and referrals? Feeling paralyzed yet? This is exactly what I’m talking about, there’s no wrong decision here, other than to let the paralysis keep you from deciding on one.
Once you choose one of them, it unlocks the next things to do to develop it.
Imagine how much better the decision for what you do want will be like, instead of just settling for what you don’t want!
Knowing this is a game changer for your confidence!
