Summary
In this episode, learn about why you fear making a decision and what you can do to reduce anxiety and boost your self-confidence. The human mind is a tool that needs to be understood and explored. Sadly, most humans do not take the time to explore their minds, and falsely assume that whatever thoughts and emotions they are aware of are factual.
Emotions should not be confused with facts. A child can assume they are bad, and unworthy as a result of emotional neglect, and parental retaliation. If this child's beliefs remain unchecked, at the level of the subconscious mind and at the neurological level, these beliefs harden into facts the mind accepts as truths.
Codependency is the manifestation of such unchecked emotions and beliefs. When one is suffering from codependency, they are stuck in the past, reliving and reenacting their childhood trauma survival strategies. Fawning, people-pleasing, and reliance on others for validation and approval keep codependent adults in the role of the wounded inner child.
To break free from anxiety, we must awaken to how the mind works and the many ways in which it was divinely designed to help us avoid pain. By default, the human mind can cut itself off from the emotions one needs to accept, in order to avoid the pain of abandonment. This is self abandonment and this results in anxiety, depression, narcissistic, entangled relationships and a myriad of mental and physical health issues.
The power of an organized mind, can set you free from psychological upset, however, to gain this mental clarity, one must possess the tools to embrace what the mind is designed to deny.

| 0:39.4 | So today, we're going to be exploring why it is so many of us have anxiety around making decisions. |
| 0:47.5 | We are not taught to think about the way that we think. |
| 0:50.8 | We're not taught to question why we do what we do. Most of us just react to whatever data shows up in our mental field. |
| 1:01.0 | And we never stop to question what is showing up, why it's showing up, and how it got there. |
| 1:09.0 | If we fear making a decision about a relationship we are in, |
| 1:13.6 | we do not routinely question why we are afraid of making a decision. Most of us worry about |
| 1:21.7 | making a decision. And then we feel the physical response to that fear in our bodies as stress and eventually suffer from anxiety-related issues. |
| 1:34.4 | We fail to recognize what this habit of thought is costing us in our adult lives. |
| 1:40.5 | If we understood that many of us fear-making making decisions because there is simply a template in our mind |
| 1:47.3 | that has taught us that what we feel is insignificant, we would then understand why we find |
| 1:55.9 | ourselves worrying about making decisions. I'm going to say that again. If we understood that many of us |
| 2:04.8 | fear making decisions because there is a template in our mind that has taught us that what we feel |
| 2:14.3 | is insignificant, we would then understand why we find ourselves worrying about |
