Ep. 64 Making Decisions With Confidence

from The Unlock Lab · host Tosca DiMatteo

In this week's episode, I talk about how to make decisions with more confidence by leaning into self trust, patience and self compassion. I share practical ways to reduce the stress and overwhelm that often come with decision making, like slowing down the urgency, getting intentional with small choices and remove the distraction of figuring out the "how" before you've even landed on '"what" the decisions even is. I also dive into the importance of listening to your body, taking mental space, and relieving the pressure valve of having to make a perfect decisions. These principles can help you make more grounded, empowered choices in your personal and professional life. Episode Highlights:How questioning the urgency of a decision can give you instant clarity.Small choices that build long term trust in yourself.Why the "how" can wait, and what to focus on instead.Quotables:[00:08:53]I would say most of the time when we're struggling with a decision the pathway to doing that is not about asking other people about it, it's about going inward for yourself. We can be looking for all the answers in this period of overwhelm, when actually the best thing that we can do is to actually stop trying to figure it out."[00:11:34]"I was going with the flow I was making the smaller choices about the things that worked for me and what didn't work for me as it related to this relationship. Eventually what ended up happening was my body told me very clearly, this person isn't for you."[00:20:20]"I think we put a lot of pressure on ourselves that once we make a decision is final and it is it, and that is not true, we can change our mind. We can make a different decision."This episode is generously sponsored by: Human Design by HollyHumanDesignByHolly.comUse Code: UNLOCKLAB to get 25% off when booking your first readingTosca’s Links and Resources:Sign up for Tosca's Newsletter: http://toscadimatteo.com/newsletterTosca’s WebsiteGet in Touch with ToscaLinkedInInstagramGiving Flowers To:Theme music by: Adrian DiMatteoPodcast edited by: Landis Podcast Editing
