Calm & Confident with Trina Gray

45. How to Make Decisions


Listen Later

In this week's episode, I shared a lesson that I created when making decisions in my business this month. We all have decisions to make in life – big and small. From parenting, to vacations, to budgets, to projects, to home repair, and more. Letting decisions sit undone causes unnecessary stress and confusion. Decisions do not go away. In fact, they usually get harder the longer you delay. Even saying "no" to something is a decision. Here is my acronym for making a more confident decision: IDC. Dig in more to that with me in today's episode. You'll learn how to get informed about your situation – do some research, ask trusted advisors or mentors, decide the best you can with what you have and know right now, and communicate clearly to people who it impacts.

What You'll Learn in This Episode
  • Treat yourself to the Calm & Confident 2026 Journal/Planner. Visit https://trinagray.com/journal/ to order.

  • Embrace the acronym IDC to better guide your decisions.

  • There are two ways to be informed – do your own research and ask a trusted resource.

  • Decisions don't go away if you ignore them.

  • Decisions that stay open in your brain cause stress.

  • Communicate your decision with clarity.

"Decisions don't go away by ignoring them. Most decisions are not made in permanent marker." - Trina
