Welcome to Let it be easy with Susie Moore.

How do you know if you're making the right decision?

My gosh, we could speak about this on the podcast for three years non-stop, right?

When we hesitate, when we feel indecisive, it can make us feel powerless.

And I refuse to stay in that state for long when I am in a position of not knowing what to decide.

So there are two almost simple rules

that I have when it comes to making the right decision.

The first is something I learned from Martha Beck and please check out her episode on the podcast. She is a remarkable guest if you haven't

already. But she said this, when it comes to the options that you have, right,

whether you should move, whether you should take a job, whether you should seek out an opportunity, invest in something.

She said, choose the answer that feels like freedom.

I think about this in big and small ways when it comes to hiring somebody

when it comes to investing significant money in my own ongoing learning of

something. I think I use this when it comes to deciding should I go to a party.

I'm like, oh, a weekend's pretty full, but this cool invitation came up.

I think the options are yes or no which feels like freedom which allows my body to relax and be at peace

I think this is tremendous advice your body knows it's almost like there's an

exhale and you sit a bit more comfortably when you make the decision that feels

like freedom that feels like peace. But the second part here is this. Sometimes even the right

decision for you, the one that does feel like peace or freedom can still have this element of feeling awful.

Just because something doesn't feel perfectly easy doesn't mean that it's the wrong thing. Let me give you an example. There is a

beautician, let's say, for simplicity, in my life who I love so much but it's no longer working for me.
