116: 3 Things You Can Do When You Cannot Make A Decision

October 5, 2020
Having choices is both a blessing and a curse; it is a blessing to be able to make choices and not be forced into a decision. However, when you cannot decide —when there are too many choices — you can start to feel overwhelmed or stuck. In Episode 116, Daniel and Christina give you 3 things to do when you cannot make a decision.

In This Episode, You Will Hear About:

  • How to figure out what is essential in your life
  • Learn how to clear your soul clutter
  • When is quitting the right decision?
  • 3 Decisions You Can Make:
    • What’s essential in your life
    • Wait for more information
    • Try on your decision

Resources Mentioned During the Episode:

  • The Next Right Thing: A Simple, Soulful Practice For Making Life Decisions by Emily P. Freeman
  • 5 Keys To Help You Make Decisions
  • Finding Beauty In The Mundane Through Journaling (Interview With Leslie Leyland Fields)
  • It’s Time To Decide What Stays And What Goes
  • When You’re Feeling Overwhelmed, Remember This
  • A Simple Grounding Exercise To Help With Anxiety

Quotes and Tweets:

  • Essentialism is not about how to get more things done, it’s about how to get the right things done. It doesn’t mean just doing less for the sake of less either. It is about making the wisest possible investment of your time and energy in order to operate at our highest point of contribution by doing on what is essential. – Greg McKewon
  • It doesn’t really matter what it is that you quit. And it doesn’t have to be something big. When you say no to something small, it can help you build your courage to say no to something bigger. It’s not really about saying no, it’s about making room to saying yes to the things that matter. @emilypfreeman
  • Clarity cannot be rushed. – Marie Forleo
  • Our next right thing will often be to wait. Give time to allow the clutter to clear. Create space for your soul to breathe. Make room for your desire to show up at the table. Wait. Listen. Repeat. It’s not a black and white world, which means decisions are rarely right or wrong. It doesn’t always matter which road you choose. What matters is God is with you. @emilypfreeman
  • Decisions are God’s way of saying I love you. @emilypfreeman
  • Just because someone gives you advice, it doesn’t mean you have to pick it up and put it in your pocket. You don’t have to carry someone else’s life choices around. @imbetweenshow

One significant takeaway from our latest episode with @shannonbrinkwriter is the power of empathy in relationships, especially when one partner is enduring prolonged suffering. Shannon emphasizes that genuine empathy, rather than superficial reassurances, is crucial. This approach helps foster an environment where both partners feel heard and understood, navigating their struggles together. It’s a reminder of how important it is to be truly present with our loved ones in their times of need.
