Summary

In this episode, I explore the challenges we encounter in decision-making and our tendency to seek external validation. We talk about the concept of the externalization of authority, indecision as a form of self-sabotage, and the role our nervous system plays in our relationship to our intuition. We also discuss the importance of making choices aligned with personal values and needs, overcoming the fear of being perceived as selfish, and how to connect with our inner voice to transition from anxiety & indecision to clarity & empowerment. Tune in to learn how to release tension, enhance your decision-making process, reclaim agency and live authentically. —Get My New Book!

0:00.0	Do you have a hard time making decisions? Do you find yourself stuck a lot on decisions?
0:05.0	Do you find yourself doing tons of research to try to figure out what to do, to go to other people and ask them,
0:11.0	what do you think I should do? One, that's the externalization of authorities. So usually it's that somewhere, usually young,
0:19.0	we learn that we couldn't trust ourselves. So we spend our lives
0:22.3	seeking other people to guide us, other people to tell us what to do. That's usually because we
0:26.9	have a disconnection from our intuition, a disconnection from the inner guidance that we have, because we
0:33.4	learned that we couldn't trust it. Because maybe it said, my home's not safe or I want to express
0:38.5	this, but I can't. So you have to actually disassociate from it, which means like shut yourself down,
0:44.2	shut down the relationship you have to your own inner guidance.
0:50.4	Now, the other level of this is actually looking at how indecision when you think about it is self-sabotage, right?
0:57.2	It's like immobilization.
0:58.8	You're not going anywhere.

1:03.6	It's a freeze in the nervous system.
1:05.8	It's that the nervous system itself is stuck in freeze.
1:08.7	So what's showing up as chaos and indecision and not
1:12.4	knowing what to do is really that at the basis your nervous system is dysregulated, maybe due to
1:18.9	trauma, maybe due to different things you've experienced in your life, but you're frozen. So it shows
1:24.7	up as indecision, but it's really that at the root at the base, you can't go anywhere.
1:29.3	So what's the way through this? Because that's ultimately what we want is like, how do I start trusting my decisions?
1:35.3	And it's through making them. Seeing that I am actually going to other people for advice and actually sensing within yourself, what is it that I know to be true?
