Having trouble making decisions?

In this episode, we talk about a topic that you can all probably relate to: decision-making. Have you ever felt that like the decision you were making was going to “change your life”? Well, believe us, been there done that :-)

What we share with you in this episode, is all of our experiences making decisions and the tools we’ve learned along the way. Some of the things we cover include:

- The Samurai technique for making decisions

- Why most decisions are made emotionally but are then rationalised afterwards

- Why you might be better off with “only” 80% of the information

- Techniques you can use to reconnect with your “inner wisdom” or initial intuition

- How focusing on the positive aspects of a choice can help you be happier about it

- How Daniel faced his divorce and the time after and what he learned in terms of decision-making

- How Eva decided to move from Germany to Span and back to Germany and what she learned from this

- Why we are so risk averse and how to overcome your biggest fears when it comes to decision-making

And much more!

We also talk about a few resources that you could find useful and inspiring:

- Simon Sinek’s TED talk “The why”

- Mel Robbins’ TED talk “The 5 second rule”

- Thinking fast and slow

We hope that you enjoy this very personal episode! We would love to hear your stories about decision making!xn
