Are You Making the Right Decision?







This question about making decisions is a paralyzing question, because you might be afraid of making the wrong decision. If you follow the process I’ve outlined below, you may start making decisions easier and without all of the frustration.



My name is Tony Rhoton, and I’m here to help you increase your confidence so you can feel capable and whole. I want to help you be able to accomplish your dreams. I decided that I’m going to take something from one of the young ladies that I’ve been working with and dissect some of the challenges facing women today so these articles, will be more helpful to you.



The first struggle I want to discuss with you is indecision. For a lot of women and men, this is a Biggie, and maybe this is one of your battles? When you have to make choices in life, sometimes it’s tough and almost overwhelming. What should you do? Should you take this job? Should you go to this place? Should you go to school? There are a lot of decisions to be made, which feels endless. As these things start to show up that you need to make decisions on, unfortunately, your happy day starts slipping away.



How do you make a decision without getting overwhelmed, paralyzed, or feeling stuck?

The weight of it all changes your attitude, and everything about you. You start to sink, feeling pushed down further and further into a hole.



What do you do?



Continuing with the theme of moving.



Here’s a process that I’ve found that works for me and hope it will work for you.



Step 1 – Research your choices.



Step 2 – Write each possible option down on paper.



Step 3 – Study each scenario and start dissecting it by asking questions like: What…• would it be like if you move into the apartment? • kind of a person would I be in an apartment, condo, home, etc…? • people, will I be hanging around, would this be good for me? • would my area be like?
