Making Decisions

Boosting Self-Confidence
When you put your focus on the daily improvement of your own skills and abilities you can and will grow very quickly. And your confidence will surge. Confidence without competence is a dangerous combination. Make it easy for yourself and only engage in self comparison when you are assessing your progress. By doing this you will make it easier to keep at it when the going gets tough and your competence will grow day by day.

Decision-Making
Trait Vital to Good Leadership?
Many factors distinguish a mediocre leader from a good leader. One of the most important is the ability to make decisions. On the surface it may seem a simple proposition, yes or no; up or down, left or right, but it often the decision can mean layoffs, a dent in the bottom line or even the demise of an organization. And often there is little time for weighing every option.

Trust In The Moment, And Trust In Yourself
You ARE capable. Give yourself the opportunity to excel by trusting in the moment and trusting in yourself. Wait calmly, and you will find that the necessary answers appear before you. Little by little ... with lots of practice ... and endless patience. Only move when the moment is right. Breathe deeply and begin at the beginning.

Reduce Anxiety About Decision Making
What's the alternative to making decisions? Allowing someone else, or circumstances, to make them for you. And that is giving up control of your life. That's giving up all power to your life to other people or circumstance. And that will make you miserable. It reminds me of walking through a wonderful food buffet where you could have anything you want -- 0 calories! -- and allowing someone else to decide what you took on your plate. Unacceptable! So when faced with decision anxiety, is the alternative -- giving up all control to others or circumstance -- the preferred method? Definitely not. No matter how difficult the decision, making it yourself gives you some modicum of control. On the flip side, of course, it also gives you the responsibility, and therefore you can't blame anyone else.

Are You Able To Say Both 'Yes!' And 'No!'?
When it is all said and done, when we delve deeply into our emotions, we almost always find that our strongest and most habitual response is covering up other feelings that we are not fully aware of. We feel hurt, disrespected, abandoned, or sad, and we cover over these feelings and lose touch with them, by expressing anger or resentment instead. When we find ways to tap into our deeper emotions we invariably find that we have been neglecting some form of pain or discomfort. When we neglect or simply don't notice our deeper emotional reactions, we lose the ability to express our full range of emotions. In the process we find that by consistently expressing only one segment of our entire emotional range, we limit our ability to be happy and feel at ease within ourselves and with those that we interact with.

The "To Do" List vs. the "To Be" List
Try it in an area of your life where you're feeling frustration. Instead of obsessing on the myriad of details that you needed to get done yesterday, for example, spend a little time determining what kind of person you want to be. Now examine that 'myriad of details'. Are they moving you in the direction you want to go? When you see activities from this perspective, you will get more satisfaction from the mundane and your 'to do' list will gain clarity and meaning. Best of all, you'll be able to pare down your gargantuan 'do it today' list to a more manageable size: the items that most support your desired wish 'to be'.
