Hi everyone!

Megan here from Libra Living Wellness Limited for the 12th video of Libra Living Liberations.

Today I want to talk about making decisions.

I will be honest,

It was a hard go to get started today.

It is gloomy and snowy,

Hence why I changed my background to something sunny,

Trying to pop myself up for today's work.

So yeah,

Making decisions.

This is something I've been thinking about.

I find when we're faced with making decisions,

A lot of times we kind of refrain from making a decision because we're afraid of making the wrong one.

When I was younger,

I was very indecisive.

I think I always thought,

Well what if I decide this and this happens,

And then what if I decide this,

This happens.

Kind of thinking of everything bad that could happen,

Not focusing on anything good.

So it left me with having a lot of fear of making that decision.

So a lot of times I would just sit in indecision,

Not doing anything because I was too scared.

As I got older,

I learned to listen to my inner guide and my own intuition and if it felt right to me,

Then I would make that decision whichever way it would be.

It's not to say I don't still struggle making decisions because especially if they're big ones or they're a heavy factor in my daily life and routine,

Sometimes it's a lot more challenging to make some decisions than others.

But what I want to say about it is when making tough decisions or any decision in life,

It's where we have to,

Sometimes we may have to spend some time with it and not make a decision right away,

Depending upon how big or small it is.

Sometimes we need that time to gather all the facts,

I guess is what I want to say.

First,

You want to gather all the facts about the decision you're making so that you can make the best decision for yourself.

But sometimes you have to kind of sit with it and I think by doing that,

It allows yourself to have a broader view of the situation and the decision you're making and I think if you allow the space to do that,

Then the answer will kind of come.

I had kind of a decision to make and it wasn't a big one but I kind of felt one thing before getting all the facts and I'm like,

Okay,

This would work out really well.

Then I gathered my facts and then I was like,

Yeah,

No,

That's not sitting well with me so I'm going to do this instead.

So also again,

Really listening to your inner guidance,

Your intuition because a lot of times you'll get that gut feeling of,

You know what,

This isn't the right decision for me,

I'm going to decide this instead.

So I think it's about being more in tune to yourself to be able to make those tougher decisions and giving yourself time and space to gather all the facts and then make the best decision for you and staying true to yourself for that too.

If it's going to bring better value to your life and kind of in lines with what you want to do,

Then that's the decision you should go with.

So I hope this was helpful for today but allow yourself that time and space to gather all the facts to make informed decisions but also listen to your inner intuition and guide because a lot of times if you are tuned into it,

It'll guide you towards the right decision.

Until next time.
