"Should I stay or should I go?"
Remember that song by The Clash? If only The Clash had this episode! We often think of decisions like life's shell game -- choose a shell, life spins it around, and then, at some point in the future, we see if we won.
This idea that a decision is good or bad based on how it turns out causes us a lot of pain – because it means we only get to evaluate our decision in the future. And even then, we only get to see the future that we picked. We don’t actually get to see how the other choice would have worked out – We never get to stay AND go – although sometimes our brains tell us that the other choice would have led to greater happiness.
In this episode, I offer a more powerful way to make decisions -- one that doesn't rely on choosing the right shell.
I'm giving away one hour long coaching session on the 15th of every month of 2023. To enter and have a chance to win next week, go to pages.coachingwithrachel.com/giveaway. Open to everyone, including former & current clients.
