    Struggle with making decisions? Or is there a big choice that's keeping you up at night?
    Today, I want to hand you a proven way to make better decisions. I'm going to teach you all about the power of objectivity.
    It's usually easy for us to give advice to others. Without having a direct emotional tie, the decision-making process can be clear. And research backs this up-we make better decisions for others than we do for ourselves!
    The solution? Take an objective, zoomed-out, third-party stance on the decision at hand.
    Today, I'm asking "What can Mel do that's best for Mel?" and I want you to do the same.
    Let me know in the comments how the power of objectivity can help you can view a current decision through a different lens.

    I did this recently. I wanted to move but was worried about my brother. Then I thought to myself, what would my brother do if he had this opportunity. And guess what. He was already thinking about moving himself and not worrying about me. So I’m moving in a couple of months. Thanks Mel ❤️❤️❤️

    i love these rather short, but straight-forward advice videos! no fancy editing, no BS. that's the kind of content i like to watch and produce myself. keep it up, Mel! 🔥

  • @Pretty60s
    @Pretty60s 11 місяців тому +3

    CPTSD makes decision making so hard because we don’t trust ourselves. My gosh that’s such a great tip. Saying your own name aloud like that is way better than saying ‘I need to do what is best for me’. Slam dunks it right home. Thank you Mel 🖐️

  • @YorozuyaNeesan2010
    @YorozuyaNeesan2010 6 років тому +66

    I literally discovered this by myself naturally over the years. These days when I am freaking out over something or have a problem, I look at it like it's not mine and think of how to tackle it as an outsider. Because yup, we are all amazing advice givers, but suck at following our own talk lol

  • @ruth2779

    So I was struggling with a pretty stupid decision, and the first 10 seconds of your videos literally just solved it

  • @gemmadidit4118
    @gemmadidit4118 6 років тому +1

    Yes! I often find that other people see more in me than I see in my self. So while I'm dithering about whether or not I can or should do something, a true friend will say YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY DO THIS! And I believe them. But if I have no one on my side, FEAR tends to keep me stagnant.

  • @craigambler1836
    @craigambler1836 6 років тому +2

    Thanks for this Mel. Sometimes the smallest ways of tackling the big stuff is the most impactful. I went self employed this year after being in employed work for over 15 years and I had 2 elements holding me back, fear of failure and the what if’s. I used this along with other techniques you have given in your blogs and posts inc your book and all I simply want to say is THANKYOU!

    Great video, Mel! I use to make wrong decisions that some affects the way I look at things. After realizing that sometimes we make decisions that aren't smart enough, I stayed focused and determined. I started planning and making sure that everything is thought of. My online business helped me in so many ways in decision making and now I appreciate a lot of things more than before.

    @MandosChannel 6 років тому +2

    I’ve been thinking about how I’m going to tell my boss / upper management that I’m changing careers and I kept thinking about how it was going to impact them due to my “whisper from the universe” telling me its time for a change. I was nervous all day today! Now, I’m going to 5,4,3,2,1.... & do it!
    Thank you Mel, thank you, thank you, thank you!

  • @jinjinpyo28
    @jinjinpyo28 3 роки тому

    I've also learned this recently when I encountered difficult times. What's weird is it seems that negative emotions truly hinder our ability to make critical decisions in life. Specifically anger, sadness, fear, etc play a role and not everyone is aware of it. Turning emotions off and analyzing whats the best decision in every situation is a skill needed to be learned by everyone.

  • @RachelSLee
    @RachelSLee 5 років тому

    Mel, this is a very helpful video. With all the things I have on my shoulders, I am afraid to make wrong decisions. Managing my online business and to be an affiliate marketer at the same time, my busy schedule in the evening before I sleep, I tend to think a lot about what decisions I need to make for the benefit of my career, business, and most importantly my self. This certainly helped me today to realize a lot of things. Thanks for sharing this amazing video!

I am one of your 841K subscribers and right now I feel justified in being that subscriber. Thanks for deciding to make this video! You tell it like it is and I wouldn't have it any other way. ❤

    Thank you for making this video. I tried the method you mentioned of making a decision for a friend or someone I admire, and I came up with the answer immediately (and it was a hard one!). I'm going to use this method from now on. Because it makes sense - if you would do what's best for someone else, why not do the same for you, even if it seems to be the harder choice? It's the best for you.
