Do you feel paralyzed by the fear of making the wrong decision? Decision anxiety can make even small choices feel permanent, risky, and overwhelming. In this episode, you will learn why the mind treats decisions as threats, how fear of uncertainty keeps you stuck, and why most choices are not traps but opportunities for clarity.

This episode explores how to stop overthinking decisions, how to recognize the difference between a truly limiting decision and an adjustable one, and why movement, not certainty, leads to alignment and confidence. You will also be guided through a simple reflection exercise to help you move forward without needing guarantees.

If you are struggling with career decisions, relationship choices, or fear of change, this episode offers practical insight, reassurance, and a gentler way to trust yourself again.

Topics include: • Decision anxiety and overthinking • Fear of making the wrong choice • How to stop feeling stuck • Trusting yourself in uncertainty • Why clarity comes after movement • Letting go of perfection and certainty

Listen now and remember, most decisions give you information, not a verdict on your future.

Poem: Decisions

Decisions are not often standing at the edge of ruin. Decisions usually stand at the edge of movement.

Our fear tells us this step is final, that one choice will close every other door, that if we get it wrong, we will never recover.

But life does not move in straight lines. It bends. It pauses. It circles back with new information.

Our decisions are not verdicts. They are not definitions of who we are. They are simply conversations with the unknown.

We are allowed to learn. We are allowed to change our minds. We are allowed to arrive somewhere and discover it is not where we want to stay.

There is no single moment where everything is decided. There is only the next step and the courage to take it.

And if this choice does not become what we hoped it would be, there is still the hope and possibility that we can have the life we want from this day forward.
