If you could only pack 5 podcast episodes for a trip to a deserted island for the rest of forever, this would be one of them. How do you deal with fear in the decision process. Concerns, worries, anxieties, worst-case-scenario'ing, fear of people's opinions (FOPO)... From the smallest choice about how to phrase a text, to the biggest life decision about your career or relationship - Fear will make all the difference in you understanding and loving your choice...or not. This episode is a Masterclass in Conscious Decision Making. We cover: How to spot "fear" interrupting, delaying or misguiding your choices (even if it doesn't automatically look or feel like "fear") What it means to acknowledge a fear without judgment or arguing Why most fears come up (and what they want for you) The vital importance of validating fears (yup, even if you think they're f****ng irrational or infuriating) And TWO methods of having a thorough, efficient, effective (self-compassionate) conversation with yourself about these fears One is using the Four Fear Questions from Episode 16 (see free downloadable in the Show Notes!) The other is "handing that Minion the mic and letting him be heard by your Mind Committee" I also walk you through a real-life example of using these tools to arrive at a clear, confident decision - instead of angsting about it for a year: my own choice to start the very first Decision Masters Program back in 2021! Building up a fluency in your fear will let you feel so much more conscious and in charge - which means you'll make decisions in a different way than you would have otherwise, if you didn't know what to do with these fears. That level of ownership will save you time, energy, and angst. And open up more decisions that are in alignment for you, Which is, of course, the dream. Links! What's your DECISION STYLE?
