Clarity on Fire

Blog: 2 steps to cut through overwhelm & finally make a decision


Listen Later

A client of mine, Isabel, feels like her life is majorly in transition right now. She's looking for a new job, applying to graduate programs, and putting her house on the market simultaneously.

All of these things came to a head at the same time this past week: She got two job offers, an acceptance letter for full-time admission to a graduate program, an offer on her house, as well as someone interested in renting her home.

Quality problems, right? But problems, nonetheless. She obviously can't accept both jobs. Nor can she take on a full-time job and go back to grad school full-time. She also can't sell her house, while also renting it out and keeping it as an investment property.

Oprah said it best: "You can have it all. Just not all at once." So Isabel has to make choices. Big choices. Choices between equally appealing options, in different ways.

In this week's blog, I'm giving you 2 specific ways to cut through the overwhelm of too many choices to get to the heart of what you really want, no matter what everyone else thinks you should do.

WANT HELP WITH THIS?

If you're overwhelmed by all of the contradictory advice from people in your life that feels unhelpful and confusing (no matter how well-meaning it is), talking to a coach might be exactly what you need.

Coaching is NOT advice — it's a proven process of helping you get clear on what YOU want, based on your goals, values, and unique personality, so you can make more confident decisions.

If that sounds like the kind of support you need right now, then 1-on-1 coaching might be the perfect thing for you.
