Ever wonder why deciding what’s for dinner or where to hang a picture can feel like a high-stakes exam? 🤯
It’s actually not a "bad outcome" that we tend to fear - it’s that the experience of not liking your choice feels heavy.
In this episode, we unpack the three habits that secretly make small decisions harder than they need to be:
Self-judgment: the inner critic that won’t let up.
Self-abandonment: punishing yourself by sticking with outcomes you don’t like.
Catastrophizing: treating solvable problems like permanent disasters.
When you spot these patterns, you can cut the mental load in half - and give yourself permission to move through everyday choices with ease!
