Better Than Happy

Today I'm talking about conquering indecision. Fearing there is a wrong choice keeps us from taking much of the action we want to take in our lives and misleads us into believing that our happiness is dependent on making the right choice. In the end we can't possibly predict even the majority of the challenges or rewards that will be triggered by any decision but the good news is we don't have to. The post Ep 30.

In today's episodes we'll explore some possible causes and as always, some things you can try at home to loosen your perfectionist tendencies. The post Ep 28.

Sometimes I remind myself that nothing is truly "hard" unless I choose to believe that.
