Trust Yourself

Have you ever heard of analysis paralysis? It’s when you are trying so hard to get things right, to make the right decision that you over analyse everything and often don’t end up making a decision at all. Of course not making a decision is still making a decision.

I always used to be trying to make the right choice. Analysing every little thing and following through the consequences. Let me say from experience that life it tough when you are doing that ALL the time over EVERY LITTLE thing. The amount of pressure I used to put on myself was amazing and of course I was never satisfied either.

What changed?

Some I met told me to trust myself. I said what of course I trust myself! She asked did I really? If I trusted myself I would know that I ALWAYS make the right decision. Well I replied looking back I can’t say that I always made the right decision. She asked if when I was looking back I knew the same information that I knew when I made the decision. Most of the time the answer would be no, after all hindsight is a wonderful thing! So knowing what I did back then would I have made another decision? No I would still make the same decision.

Trusting yourself releases pressure and stress and in our lives. We know that we will always make the right decision. Sometimes things will change and further down the road that decision may not seem to be as great as we first thought. Guess what that’s okay because now you get another chance to make a decision and it’s going to be right too.

Trust yourself to make the right decisions in your life. I’m not saying that you don’t have to think about it (although some people don’t and live fantastic lives) but don’t over analyse either.

Stress has been linked to many different diseases (dis-ease being out of balance, not in your natural state of ‘ease’) but as far as I’m aware happiness hasn’t been linked to any diseases.
