We were the first person we were taught not to trust.

We were taught that we can't trust our innate decider.

And it disconnected us from our inner knowing and from our inner decision-making power.

And so as we do these little things, we start creating that trust back into ourselves.

Thank you. start creating that trust back into ourselves. Hi, this is Monica Packer, and you're listening to About Progress, where we are about

progress made practical.

Have you ever felt paralyzed by indecision, spiraling into research and pulling your friends or second-guessing your gut?

I have because I'm human.

And that's how I know you have struggled with indecision too.

Whenever I think of decision-making, I think back to when I had my first child and it was time for her first sippy cup.

Now, I deliberated over that choice like it was my job. I researched. I went on all the mommy sites.

I asked my friends. I looked at option after option at several stores. I was convinced that there was

cup with a rubber bottom and a built-in straw? She hated it, and I had to make the decision

all over again.

Overtinking doesn't have to be how we make decisions.

In fact, if we find ourselves ruminating over choices, it's often a symptom of our own

deep fears and insecurities that are at play.

Years ago, I pulled our community and I asked them, if you knew yourself better, what would

improve in your life?

I was shocked that the most common response was this.

It would be easier to make decisions.
