Making Confident Choices
Making choices is a big part of our daily life. This is one of the things we wanted to bring forward because we interact with this concept with clients all the time and it’s so important to everything that we do.
Why do we go through analysis paralysis?
- Decision paralysis can equate to analysis paralysis
- it’s kind of a cause and effect when you don’t analyze so much like you’re paralyzed with all of the options that you have.
- Overthinking things can lead to analysis paralysis, and you go into decision paralysis.
What are the two main areas in making confident choices?
1. Love
- When you know, you are loved, valued, and accepted, you’re feeling connected to people or to yourself, that acceptance creates competence. You know you’re not alone. There’s like this sense of competence that you’re with somebody.
- The awareness and the connection to God and moving forward with him knowing you’re loved by Him is a key awareness. Even you know, your relationship with others, good spouse, be it a good friendship. Those are all key elements.
- The biggest one is you believing though, that you’re loved. God can love you all he wants.
2. Experience
- The more you do something, the more confident you’ll become because of the experience.
- When you have a lot of experiences and doing something over and over, you have confidence because you already know the outcome, you can do it. Even if it does not work out like maybe once or twice in all the times you do it, the odds are that it’s going to work out more often. And that motivates you to step out and take more risks.
- When making a big decision, or even a small one, you’re having a hard time deciding and going forward, it is helpful to do these things.
How do you actually move forward?
- Recognize how much experience you have in making decisions.
- Stop, acknowledge, and ask “Is this something that I’ve done quite often?”
- The best way to actually break through from fear and paralysis is to actually face them.
- Take on the courage to face that fear.
- Allow yourself, give yourself the permission to start out as a beginner, so good and not put pressure on yourself to be an expert.
- Recognize how you’re feeling or how the situation is making you feel. If you’re worried, if you’re anxious, if you’re scared, if you’re feeling insecure, it means that you’re experiencing fear. Face your fear, and take courage.
How do we face our fear? We have to first understand that fear isn't an enemy.
- Fear isn’t a spirit. It is within. Fear is simply a part of the language of the heart.
- Recognize what your emotion is saying to you
- Simply put, your inner world of your mind in your heart needs some kind of love in the storyline of your life.
- So fear is speaking up. And it says speaking from the storyline of your life, and fear can cause you to hesitate. Yeah, so. So you’re hesitant to choose because your mind does not want to experience pain again, your heart does not want to experience pain again.
- For you to move forward in confidence, you need to comfort your heart, along with the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit is our comforter, he is empowering us to be like Christ to live and move in love. But he can’t do anything outside of our cooperation outside of our agreement outside of our action. But he empowers us when we take action. So here we need to partner with the makeup of the Holy Spirit and comfort our heart, specifically in the storyline of our life. So your inner world can tap into the piece of heaven and move forward in confidence.
