When something unexpected or uncomfortable happens to you, the natural reaction is to make a rash decision. To avoid feeling embarrassed or afraid again, you decide never to do that thing again. This instinct is natural, but it might also be what is holding you back from being where you want to be with your health goals.
In today’s episode, Lisa talks about decision-making. When it comes to any goal in your life, from health to business, decision-making is one of the most effective tools you can use to succeed. However, if your decision-making abilities are compromised, it becomes a hindrance. A bad experience can stain your choices moving forward, and you can no longer trust your decisions about anything related to that incident again.
Lisa shares two ways to become a better decision-maker. Tune in to learn why you can’t be trusted to make your own decisions and gain insights on how to build resilience and recovery into your mindset so you can start making choices that align with your goals.
