So I was just wondering: when was the last time you really gave to yourself?

Not a thing – not something you have to go shopping for, but something that would nourish your soul. A really long stomp in the woods or beside the ocean, perhaps. An evening of jazz dancing. A non-cerebral gift like a Shiatsu massage.

Find something that really stirs you, and promise yourself that before this year is out you’ll give that thing to the person you love most in all the world – yourself! (Because, remember, without you, you can’t have the adventure called “My Life”, can you?)

Keep on loving yourself!

Making fast decisions can be difficult at first but with practice, you can learn to do it efficiently. Making quick decisions is not always good. The key is to learn from every decision and always move forward and soon you will be making quick and effective decisions.

Learn From Past Decisions

Everyone is different and decisions will vary from person to person and that is fine. By studying your decision making process, you can learn why you made certain decisions at certain times.

One of the main challenges with decision making is that you constantly change your mind. Or maybe you just get stuck as many things race through your mind. Then again you may start to question your decision. Another common challenge is letting fear choose your course of action.

Regardless of what influences your decision, you must understand why you made that decision and only then can you start working on understanding that decision and you’ll be able to move forward.

Overcoming Fears That Effect Your Decisions

Fear comes in many forms. Fear of failure is the most predominant. Facing the consequences of a decision is another reason for fear. Having too many options is yet another form of fear.

Everyone at some point or another is faced with fear of failure. It is also true that everybody will fail at something at some point in their life. There is no way around that. In order to succeed, you must first fail. It is your reaction to failure that will determine how successful you will become. The people that are the most successful are the people that have failed the most.
