are you making a decision from fear or inspiration? 3 signs to tell.

When you have to make a decision, it can be really hard to tell whether it’s the right one. Especially if there is a lot riding on the decision, we can easily downshift into fear because well, we need to make some decision, don’t we?10371443_10152110639312361_7115493803932630590_n.jpg

But there’s a huge difference between making a decision from fear and making one from inspiration.

Here are some clues to tell:

Fear looks like:

-feels heavy in your body, and you tend to be in your head trying to figure out all the reasons it can’t come together or that it will be hard.

-the decision moves you away from something you don’t want

-making a move to defend against an outcome that hasn’t happened yet (based on the past usually)

Inspiration looks like:

-feels light in your body, even if you’re not sure how it will all come together

-the decision moves you towards something you want

-making a move from a desire or curiosity based on who you want to be (not who you were or what current circumstances show you are possible). There’s still a desired outcome (we are human!) but you trust that whatever happens after taking this inspired action will be in service to your growth and your Path.

An example of this when it comes to relationships and taking care of yourself:

Fear:

You have a date with someone and text them to confirm the night before.

You haven’t heard back from them within the hour, so you cancel the date before they do.

(because that’s what always happens before, so why not beat them to it?)

Inspiration:

You have a dinner date with someone and text them to confirm the night before.

You haven’t heard back from them within the hour, so you make a decision within yourself. You will reach out to them one last time in the morning and if you don’t hear back by 12noon, you will just make other plans. No biggie. Your time is valuable. There will be other dates with people who value it.

Do you see how one puts you in the victim role and one puts you in the driver’s seat?

It’s never about the other person, although that’s the easy thing to do!

The more you can check in with your own intuition before making a decision and ask, “Hmmmm, could this be coming from fear or inspiration?” you will save yourself a lot of time and energy!

3 rituals to free your mind and take back your energy

 

When your mind is worried about something, it’s next to impossible to stay open to love, because part of you is already checked out of the present moment.

 

With so much happening in your daily world, it’s easy to get bogged down by details and forget to take care of your Spirit and own your time and energy.

 

Here are 3 of my favorite rituals to free your mind and help you reclaim your energy:

 

1.Start with “Thank you”.

This sounds so simple, but notice how you feel when you say Thank you  when you first wake up. Say Thank you when your feet hit the ground after you get out of bed. Say Thank you and take a deep breath. Before checking your Twitter feed, email pings or anything else outside of yourself in those first five minutes. It sets the tone for the rest of your day. If you don’t put yourself first, how do you expect others to? Thank you.

 

 

  1. The Nightly 3

Before you go to bed each night, write down the 3 most important things that you need to address for tomorrow. Nothing else gets added to your schedule until those top 3 are looked at. (That last step is key and you will be tempted to not do it!)

A mentor of mine gave me this exercise for my business and although I don’t always do it (I’m human!) I notice a huge boost in my productivity and energy level when I do. Being unfocused takes way more energy than taking a few minutes to prep before.

 

  1. Use the worry box.

I’ve written about the worry box before, but there’s a reason I keep sharing it with you. It really works! Get an empty tissue box, index cards or post-its. On the box, write a prayer that everything that goes in the box, you are giving to Spirit to transmute and deal with. It’s being handled as Olivia Pope would say.  Whenever you have something you keep worrying about, write it on the card and drop it in. Say your own version of the prayer, “Thank you Spirit for taking this off my heart and mind. Show me any right actions to take. I free and release these to you. Thank you! And so it is!” BOOM! Done. If you want to worry about the situation again, you have to go into the box and dig out the index card.

 

That’s it!
