Overwhelmed With All The Decisions - Here’s A Hack!
Recently, I read somewhere that most of our habits or decisions were made subconsciously which if you think about it makes sense.
IF the conscious mind had to whip up the pros/cons for EVERY single decision... we would be FATIGUED and exhausted. ALL. THE. DANG. TIME.
Yet some folks can become paralyzed with too many options and unable to make ANY decisions... you probably heard the phrase, "analysis paralysis".
Which has a nice RING to it, no? But it's not a good place to be living.
Sometimes INFORMATION overload can lead us to fatigue, confusion and even worse, the dreaded analysis paralysis.
HACK TO AVOID ANALYSIS PARALYSIS
One thing I learned to help my brain stay SHARP is to reduce the decisions it has to make throughout the day AND to follow my gut.
Okay. Sounds easy, but how exactly?
- PLAN things out in advance: as much as possible, because LIFE can kick you in the lady bits and screw things up
- MAP OUT the week ahead: menu, homeschooling points to cover, physical therapy sessions, family adventures, etc.
- SIMPLE WARDROBE: I even make things SUPER easy for my brain and Steve-Jobs my wardrobe by keeping it simple: white tee, hoodie, leggings/scrub pants.
AND when things ARE NOT mapped out and a decision needs to be made I LIVE by this simple phrase: IF it's not a HELL YES! then it's a solid, NO.
Your gut tends to know what to do.
Why do we try to bog ourselves down AND over overanalyze every little thing. My past self included. Instead, let's learn to give our brains a break by: simplifying decisions and turning them into habits.
And when in doubt ask the question: IS this a HELL YES? Because if it is--- SWEET! (and if it's not, well, you know... )
