The best way to make a decision is to make the decision and then work hard to make it the right decision.

And when you make the decision, you are forcing your life to move in a different direction.

Let's do one more question from a listener named Kristen, because I want you to really make sure you understand this first trap, that it's not being ready.

And I also want you to understand how powerful one decision could be.

So listen closely.

And when we're done listening to her, I'm going to ask you the same question.

Describe the trap she's in.

Describe why she's not ready.

And then we're going to talk about what is one decision that Kristen needs to make that would get her unstuck and help her break free.

Here she is.

That is a painful, painful question to listen to, isn't it?

Because you can feel the trap that she's in.

And there's a couple things that I want to point out that I'm sure that you picked up on, and maybe you've experienced this yourself.

Maybe somebody that you love is going through this.

You know, when she said that she can't get out of the loop in her head that she's constantly stuck in, when she said that, I feel like I shouldn't have left my ex, and that in this constant loop of regret—

That's what she's living in.

That's the trap.

She's not ready to change because her reality right now is regret.

What is the decision that Kristen needs to make?

Because there is so much power in a decision.
