Now We're Getting Somewhere

I talk a lot about bigger decisions with higher stakes. But small decisions can really take an enormous amount of energy + brain space.

So in this episode, I'm discussing a concept that I think is particularly helpful for making small decisions, or decisions on the smaller side.

I offer one thought that I think now that helps me with making small decisions.

If you struggle with small decisions, I hope this tool brings you clarity, decisiveness, and peace.

"Past Decision Trauma" is where a person has at least one experience where they had an important decision, and it didn't go the way that they hoped. They're kicking themselves about it + it's impacting their ability to make decisions going forward.

People experiencing Past Decision Trauma will often procrastinate decisions, take a super long time to make decisions, look outward to other people, or over-analyze — because they don't trust their own inner signals. And I'm using "trauma" in the "little t" sense here, because most people haven't been in a war zone, but it still profoundly affects them.

If you have Past Decision Trauma, I share 3 questions in this episode that you can ask yourself to find yourself on solid ground again. I also share some client examples from my How To Know What You Want course + some concepts that I think will be helpful to you.

I hope this helps your current decision-making ability + decision-making confidence as you move forward in life.

For additional information, I reference Episode 60: "How do I make sure it's not 'Grass Is Greener Syndrome'?" (Q&A)

This episode is about priorities. I find that knowing your actual priorities can be the solution to issues such as guilty thoughts, over-thinking, or over-researching.

There are two approaches to thinking about priorities that I find useful, and I illustrate them through a few different client stories + a quick story about me.

This idea might seem obvious, but this episode is still very much worth a listen. Because if you have confusion or lack of clarity or guilt, this concept will help you. And you're likely not using it as effectively, or as often as you should.

Today I am sharing a concept that's about energy. It is also about how to achieve our goals or intentions more effectively.

I tell a client story + share a personal story to illustrate how you might apply this idea to your own life.

Whatever challenge you're facing, I hope this concept helps you succeed more often as you take action towards your goals.

I do a lot of work on clarity, and many people come to me saying they feel confused. Feeling confused can be exhausting + frustrating.

In my work, I've found that many people who think they are confused — are actually just being *imprecise*.

In this episode, I share three things that are often revealed, when we actually get precise about our problems. These three things are far more actionable than confusion — and I'd bet if you're confused, you're *actually* dealing with at least one (if not all three).

Here's something I've been telling tons of clients lately: if you want clarity on a topic, one of the easiest + simplest first steps you should take is to spend quality time with your topic or problem or question.

In this episode, I talk about what quality time is, what it isn't, and I get practical about how you can, more tactically, have "quality time" with whatever it is that you want clarity about.

This concept might seem small or too simple — but I can guarantee that most of you aren't doing it yet...and would really benefit from trying it.

For additional information, I reference Episode 59: My new favorite practice (that's not journaling) and Episode 62: Journaling for clarity.

The new year is upon us — and I'm not really a new year's resolution kind of person.

So today, I want to share one thing that is really top of mind for me, personally, as we enter the new year. This is a simple idea that doesn't require willpower or a full tank of energy.

As we start this new year, and as always, I'm rooting for you.

As I prepare for my upcoming course, "How To Know What You Want," I have been thinking a lot about how to make decisions, "Rightness," and knowing what you want.

So today, I wanted to talk about these topics from a personal lens.

I share 3 examples of recent decisions that I made that had Rightness to them - and how I came to those decisions. These examples were all different situations (some important, some relatively trivial), I made them in different ways (some quickly, some slowly), and they had different outcomes (including one that went poorly).

Rightness doesn't guarantee that everything goes the way we want. So I want to be authentic + vulnerable + share my takeaways from these experiences.

I reference some tools + models that I teach in the upcoming course "How To Know What You Want." Learn more about the course at https://www.katieseaver.com/course.

In this episode, I share about what "Rightness" is, and why it matters. Why do we even care about Rightness?

I also talk a bit about what Rightness isn't. Sometimes I think understanding how things don't operate can give us a lot of insight about how to cultivate them.

Ultimately, I think that Rightness is what we're all seeking — with decisions big and small. I hope you'll join me for this important exploration of the topic.

This topic, among others, will be covered in my upcoming course "How To Know What You Want." Learn more about the course at https://www.katieseaver.com/course.

For this first time, *ever*, I'm offering a course! The course is called "How To Know What You Want" — and has been over a decade in the making.

In today's podcast, I wanted to tell you all about the course — from me, directly. I'm sharing what we'll cover, who it's for, and all the logistics (when it's happening, when to sign up, price, and more).

This course is *very special* to me — I'll be summarizing everything I've learned from coaching my 1:1 clients, into 5 do-able, learnable steps — to help you:

+ Turn up the volume to your inner knowing (most people can hear it at a "shout," but not at a "whisper")

+ Generate directions (when you have no idea what you want)

+ Make a choice from options (when you're totally turned around)

+ Get more energy (because energy is a big input for this work), and

+ Make sure fearful thoughts don't sabotage the whole thing.

In the first 30 days, you'll have new, more confident insights about any decision with your work, relationships or life — no matter how gnarly or complex.
