At the eye doc the other day as he is flipping those lens to check for a new prescription, and they ask, is the first or second lens better?! I couldn't tell which was better on most of them. He then asked me, "Do you have trouble picking your cereal in the morning?", trying to be funny. "Actually, I do." This surprised him.

I really could relate to what everyone has said. I not only have trouble deciding but even once decided, sometimes I will even change my mind, thinking that something else might have been a better choice. T has said that any choice would be better than none, and that even in not deciding is still a choice. At least by picking something, it might come closer to what we want and in not deciding we miss out or a decision gets made for us that could be not to our liking.

T also asked me about how much time do I spend literally agonizing over these decisions. Would I rather use that time and energy for some other purpose. She said, sometimes making a decision for some and for somethings is like pulling a bandaid off, and can be worth it, the quicker the better. She had me try practicing this and just go for it, try going with first/gut reaction to something, starting with little things, such as the cereal or in when going to the store, etc. Trusting in oneself to make these decisions. Bigger decisions such as large purchases of course or major life events of course still need time to be decided and weighed carefully.

I now visualize the bandaid and will just do it, so I can move forward. I do tend to hesitate and waiver on A LOT still, but if I put my mind to it, the decisions are coming quicker now and feel better about making them. The choice is ours and what we make of it. Not sure if this helps but it is what helps me sometimes.
