How to make a hard decision

No fear, no surprise, no hesitation, no doubt

In personal news, I got accepted onto a Masters in Psychology. Eeeep! I’m nervous about the challenge - mostly because of the juggle with parenting - but I feel excited and calm (can you be both at once? I guess I’ll learn about that on my course). It feels like the right thing to do. I’ve written previously about the anxiety of not knowing where you fit. This is it for me. Or at least it’s the start of it for me. I feel a huge amount of relief. The reason I know I feel so at ease is because I’ve finally made a decision. I don’t even have to have achieved it yet; the simple act of making a decision has done wonders for me. There is so much power in decision making for reasons this post will now explore but the main thing, in my non-but-soon-to-be-expert opinion, is that it makes all the noise that’s been in your head before you made the decision go blissfully quiet. This is a chapter lifted from my second book: The Confidence Kit and it explores what I referred to at the time as ‘The Fuck It Moment’. I hope it helps you make an important decision too.
