Motivation Blog Post : Decisions, Decisions, Decisions...

Today's topic is about making decisions. Several of my friends, including myself, have been faced with making several important decisions lately. Some of these include accepting or rejecting job offers, deciding to leave or stay in a relationship, deciding weather to splurge on that Labor Day weekend getaway, etc...

When it comes to decision-making I'm kind of the worst---and I'm sure many of you can relate this. What I tend to do is gather the opinions of about 250 people before I wind up choosing what I had originally decided from the beginning. At the end of the process I just wind up thinking myself, "Why did I even have to ask or tell anyone!? I knew the answer all along". 

I get caught up in this cycle because I let the fear of making the wrong decision get in the way of my intuition. I've seen this happen recently among my friends as well. I'm slowly getting to a point where I can trust my gut and make choices without seeking the opinions of others. However, I admit I still have a lot of work to do. 

Today I am sharing a video by one of my fave's: Marie Forleo. If you don't know Marie Forleo she is a life and business coach who has been featured on Oprah several times. She's awesome because she gives real, valuable advice in a fun, relatable way. (She is also a Seton Hall alum. Go Pirates!)

In this video she talks about how to distinguish Fear vs. Intuition. I think this video will help all of us the next time we're faced with making a big decision.

Fear vs. Intuition: How To Tell The Difference (4:20)
(P.S. The quote at the end is kind of confusing as it relates to the whole video. So I just ignore it.)
