As we wrap up the series on Decision Fatigue we discussed how to help others with their big decisions, emotional decisions, and decision fatigue.
Will and Eloise talk through two scenarios that we all find ourselves in:
1. When someone comes to you asking for help with a big decision or many small decisions.
2. When you see decision fatigue in someone else but they don’t see it yet.

Listen as they talk through examples in their lives and how to handle situations with friends, spouses, and even your boss.

Episode 15 is the last episode in the series. So don't miss it! Listen on Apple podcasts or Spotify. All links are in our bio on Instagram or found on our website.

In episode 14, we ask the question - "What does success look like as we discuss decision fatigue?"

Is success never experiencing decision fatigue again? No.
Is success always making decisions easily? No.
Is success making good or right decisions every time? No.

Success is not that you won't ever experience seasons or days of decision fatigue.
Success is a shift in mindset, a peace about your decisions, and a trained muscle.

Listen as Will and Eloise talk about what success is for them as they navigate decision making and seasons of decision fatigue in our personal and professional lives.

In episode 13, Will guides us through a short meditation that will enable you to recalibrate your mind so that you are able to approach the big decisions of life and the many small decisions of our days with more clarity and peace. When you are able to calm yourself with breathing, focus, and gratitude, you are then able to see the options and choices in front of you. You are able to think clearly and calmly about those options and ultimately make better decisions with ease.

If you have never tried a guided meditation, we encourage you to give this one a try as it is short and made for beginners. 
This meditation is not just for decision fatigue but can also be used during a stressful day, week or season.

Find a comfortable and quiet space as you listen and follow episode 13.

In episode 12 we discuss that most people don't have the space and time in their lives to think through decisions, process change, and allow the mind space.
We discuss how implementing long term practices and in-the-moment techniques can help to calm the mind to make better decisions. We share several variations of our long term practices and how they can reduce decision fatigue by allowing us the space and time to process the thoughts, options, and situations they find ourselves in each week, month, and season.

When we don't have time to process, think, or sit in silence, it is harder to make wise big decisions or quick small decisions. When you don't dedicate time to quiet, silence, journaling, prayer - you end up wasting more time ruminating and stressing over decisions. You will actually save time if you dedicate a short amount time each week to silence or alone time. We discuss different practices that have worked for us and ones that we have been hesitant to try.

And in those moments of chaos or when a lot of decisions need to be made quickly, you need to find ways to break the script, gain perspective, and calm down.
We give 3 simple ways you can break the script of ruminating thoughts in order to gain control over your mind.

At the end of each beingwell episode, they will leave you with a reflection question to help you process how decision fatigue affects your life. This week we want you to ask yourself - What are 3 ways you can incorporate space and silence into your life to give yourself time to process, to make better decisions and to find peace?

On episode 11, we talk about how spirituality has impacted our lives and decision making. We know not everyone will have the same beliefs that we do and we have no intention in this episode to persuade or convict. We only wish to share how our faith and spirituality has impacted our lives and why we choose to pursue a faith in something more than ourselves for better careers, businesses, and decision making. This episode is deeper and philosophical and thought provoking. We encourage you to listen with an open mind and heart.

On episode 10, we discuss how the people in our lives can reduce and contribute to our decision fatigue. We talk about what it looks like in real life with children, family, and team members. The common factor to all of these relationships is you/us. And how we communicate is the most controllable thing to ensure the relationship is helping to reduce decision fatigue and not contribute to it.

On episode 9 of the Decision Fatigue series, Will and Eloise talk about the most important thing you need in your life when you feel stuck during or after you have made a big decision. We aren't meant to do life, business, or career alone. We need different relationships in our lives to help us through personal or professional decisions. We talk which relationships are best for specific conversations and decisions. And how to have the conversations with each type of relationship so that its beneficial to both.

And on the flip side, we discuss when you are the person that is listening and helping others through decisions, what is most helpful. "Making up wisdom" or having the answer or giving advice is not always the most helpful for someone else. The answer might not be ready yet. Or it might be in them, not you.

How Do You Identify Your Priorities?

In order to make decisions wisely and confidently we need to be clear on our priorities in the current season of life. Will walks us through a series of questions and exercises that help us identify our real priorities. We often times say that family, health, and faith is a priority but when we look at our time, budget, and commitments, we realize we actually have many other priorities that don't align. Eloise and Will discuss philosophical questions and practical audits of time, budget, and commitments to truthfully identify your priorities. This will then enable you to decide to change them or to live more fully into them.
