There are two basic forces in the world – fear, and love. And with our negativity bias–the tendency of our brains to focus more on things that didn’t work out or that cause pain than on the things that go well and lift us up–we place way too much of our focus on fear. This exercise helps give love more of a voice the next time you're facing a decision. I offer a nicely designed PDF version of today's exercise on my website. <a href="https://katehanley.com/">Click here to download it (scroll to the bottom of the page, pop in your email address, and click the "I want clarity" button). </a> Learn more about your ad choices.

[Trusting Yourself]: Making Decisions from Your Heart. EP: 668

Finding the Throughline: Conversations about the Creative Process invites you into the minds of writers and other creatives as they open up about their process, their doubts, and what kinds of changes they’re thinking about making. The questions are mildly invasive, honestly, and the answers are unvarnished…and so refreshing! 
Whether your creative work is writing, painting, making music, parenting, or simply living, Finding the Throughline can help you get—and stay—inspired. Invigorated, even. 
For detailed show notes on each interview, visit katehanley.substack.com. And if you’d like to hear these interviews in one ad-free episode (as opposed to broken up into three shorter episodes with a few ads sprinkled in to keep the lights on), become a paid subscriber once you’re there.
