Decision fatigue and the power of trust

- We have so many options and yet feel weighed down by them- so how do we know what's right?
I'm not an expert but I do understand how much of a burden and privilege it is in equal measure, and I also know how taxing it can be to not choose anything at all.
Trusting in yourself is where it's at my friends, even if anxiety ensues our immediate decisions, it's what we can all lean into the most.

I loved this video so much, it helped me trust myself and my vision so much more, I believe in me!
Yesss! That is amazing to hear, I'm soo glad!! Keep rinse and repeating that same thought xx
i saw your smile, and smiled and i felt called to wacth this
Fickle flaky people have faith! Thanks for this video, I'm making a huge, pivotal decision now and this prompted a great journaling experience
Ohh I am so excited for you!! just know that whatever you choose, is right for you at that moment xx
This resonated a lot with me, very much everything you said. I am also so sick and tired of not continuing the path after making a decision because my feeling towards that decision is turned upside down. Suddenly it feels wrong and bad. I feel like I cannot trust my feelings. I guess it comes from fear but I don't even know for sure. You said something about intrusive thoughts emerging after making a decision but what about the actual feeling and I am not talking about emotions but the actual feeling. Can someone relate and if so what have you found out about this pattern and what has helped you? Thank you so much for sharing and putting yourself out there. That is so brave of you.
Ahh thank you for watching and I'm so sorry to hear you're struggling with the same thing! From the comments, it's clear that you're not alone, so I hope you don't beat yourself up too much about it. I think self-awareness is the key to unravelling the whole thing, which you seem to have because you know it's a pattern. I know you asked for the opinions of others but I'll just chime in as well! So much of it I think, is self-doubt. And that can run really deep on a sub-conscious level, which is why it presents in day to day life, in ways that you can't understand but can feel very strongly. For me, it's been a form of self-sabotage as I couldn't see a positive outcome and instead could only see the bad that might come from choosing one or the other. The only way through it in my opinion, is to literally keep committing to choosing the best outcome for yourself, which as I touched on means picking something and really backing yourself. It's like exposure therapy for decision making! You may feel uncomfortable at first, but try starting with small decisions that come about your day and see what happens. Notice the feeling you get, sit with it but don't stay with it..as in see what can come if you let it transform into something else. Why a lot of us stay within decision-fatigue is because we don't know what lies on the other side of that feeling, we always pull out before it gets that far. Anyway! sorry this is sooo long haha I hope it's somewhat helpful and I'm really wishing you all of the best xx
Really resonated with what you said especially about saying no to those intrusive thoughts and backing yourself 100% 👏🏽 Keep up the great content
Thank you Aiz!! It’s a process for sure but one that I feel like I’m chipping away at 😊 thank you for the love as always
This video is your best one yet. Authentically you! I like when you free flow best. Keep them coming mamaz ❤️
Ohh thank you my love!! I appreciate that 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 will try to keep free flowing lol
I resonated so hard with everything you just said and am at that same point where i feel a different way of being and going about our path becomes possible. I'm rooting so hard for you
Ohh wow! Thank you so much. That really made me tear up a little! I hope that everything opens up for you in the best way possible 💕 it sounds dramatic but at this point, there is no plan b for me! Sending a lot of love your way xx
@@mariaermides yes! I get it! Being authentic feels like do or die, there is no plan b and there has never been. Look at us growing our metaphorical balls 💋
