So the advice. It’s the best advice I’ve ever been given. It was from my mom. She was crazy smart. I mean, I’m totally biased, but still true. One of the reasons she was so smart was because she was so insightful. She was good at reading other people because she was really good at reading herself. She knew what she was thinking and feeling and she dealt with it.
Man. I miss her a ton.
This is the advice:
When you aren’t sure what to do in a situation, be it taking a new job, breaking up with your boyfriend, having another baby, where to go for dinner (I mean, not all decisions are big), you close your eyes and you try it on.
You imagine yourself taking the first path. You really think about it. What it means. And then you sit and feel how it feels. The good, the bad, the ugly. And then you do the same for the second path.
In my experience, you don’t even need to try on both options. Usually just in trying on the first option you become so clear on what you want to do. I did this yesterday with something that I’m struggling with, and the very second I imagined taking the option that I was scared to take I felt like the clouds cleared, the sun came out, and the 800 pound gorilla who was sitting on my back went for a walk.
Done and done peeps. Works every time.
