Thank you for sharing this, Nat. I found your message right when I needed it. Lately, I've been simplifying my perspective. Can I turn this into a yes-or-no question? And asking myself which response resonated. I use that to help me reclaim my trust and independence.
I honestly don't care about what other people think of me when making my decisions but my biggest fear is making a wrong decision that one day can get in the wrong place.. so do you perhaps have a solution
Well, I think there are many layers to this. For example: what the wrong place means for you? And what qualifies a decision as wrong? There's also the fact that there is so much in life that we don't control, we are not really good at predicting how things will turn out, unless you follow exactly the path that others have followed before you. But sometimes the path others followed are not our path for fulfillment. The question is, what do you want to get out of life?
Hey Nat! I had to share that I used the Story & Voice Insights Tool with AI that I got from subscribing to your Substack. It was exactly what I needed! I was producing content but really feeling the pull to refine my voice. It sent me down a whole productivity spiral that ended with outlining 10 different Substack essays I want to craft as the "flagship" of my philosophy and to differentiate myself. All that to say, thanks!! And here's the first essay if you want to read it. 😊https://open.substack.com/pub/allisonblackwell/p/i-climbed-the-career-ladder-then?r=1pz9m0&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
Yes yes yes! Totally agree with everything you’ve said here. I’ve learnt over time that a decision made is better than indecision, and actually a decision not made is a decision in itself (but not always a great one).
For me, something that helps avoid the analysis paralysis is to frame any decision I make as one that I make ‘with the best available information I have right now’ and then I tell myself it’s the decision I can make with what I’ve got, and if it’s OK to change my mind or pivot if I were to have new available information.
Yes, I love how you framed this "with the best available information I have right now". It's such a good one, I will take notes!! Thank you for sharing Fiona

This is also a great way to reflect on what matters ❤️ Thanks for sharing Shelly!

Same here.
