Making Decisions

I have a hard time making difficult decisions. I am overly analytical and can spend hours, days, weeks, and months analyzing a potential decision. So I came up with this outline to hopefully help me make a decision next time. I hope it helps you too! Please note the list below is catered toward myself. I imagine many of you couldn't care less about tarot, journaling, or making art, take what you will from it. I also think I will add to it and change it over time.

How does each choice make you feel in your body? What is your gut telling you?
- Be specific and sit with it for 10 min for each choice.
- Be mindful and write down what you notice
- Imagine you have to give an answer right this second, what comes pouring out?

If at a stalemate. What would help you decide?
- Is it feasible to do that? If yes, then do it.
- If no, what can be done to make it feasible?

Is the timeline truly not flexible?
- No really, a choice has to be made now?
- What if you wait to make the choice?
    - What are the repercussions?
    - Are they really that bad?
- Can you at least take a day off from thinking about it at all? Do so if possible.

Are you making this choice with a sound body and mind?
- If you are depressed, wait until you're not (if possible)
- If other things are stressing you or up in the air, wait until it is resolved (if possible)

Why are you contemplating this at all?
- Are they your own reasons?
- Will this make you happy or are you doing it for others?
- Did something happen that makes you feel like you have to make a decision?
- Are you black and white thinking it and letting emotions get carried away?

Have you journaled (this can include a pro and con list) or talked about it with someone that usually helps you get clarity?
- No? Then do it
- Yes? Great job, did it help?

Make some art
- What came up in the process and product?

Listen to your dreams
- Pay attention to your dreams. What are they telling you?

Tarot
- What are the cards telling you?
- How do they make you feel?
