Decision Making

We can’t make decisions easily when we are struggling to find clarity or when we feel anxious and confused as we get all caught up in over thinking about making the right choice or knowing what’s right. We can often get stuck in indecisiveness.

On Finding Movement in Stuckness

Project Self
Feeling stuck is a common experience and yet there are different energies within stuckness, so it’s important to explore in depth what someone means when they describe themselves as stuck. We generally have three choices when it comes to a situation. Move away from it, towards it or to stay where we are (standing still). Moving away can be either backing away – withdrawing or contracting  – or heading away and leaving proactively. Towards can be in gentle, welcome invitation and curiosity, or pushing into/against.

Project Self
We make many decisions each day. So what is it that makes decision making so hard? Three clients raised decision making as an area of difficulty for them this week; which has led me to reflect on what is involved in making a decision. The word decide comes from the latin for to determine. It’s also about resolving a question, finding solutions and considering ideas.
