Learn how to take your time to think about all options and then take action or make peace with the situation once and for all.

Making decisions and being scared of the outcome is one thing.

NOT making decisions and expecting this to be the safe place, a place of comfort is a dangerous conclusion to make. When I look back on my life so far I can say, I strongly believe that the decisions I haven't taken are the ones I regret the most.

Not raising your voice. Not making a statement is also a statement!

Don't stay in the comfort zone that deep done makes you feel miserable. Take action and if you succeed celebrate, if you fail re-calibrate but I encourage you to at least reflect about all positive outcomes your actions could have.

Transcripts

Unknown:

Hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis

Unknown:

experience. I'm your host Aurora, life coach and companion

Unknown:

on this beautiful journey called life. I hope you're doing well I

Unknown:

hope you feel safe and understood, loved, supported,

Unknown:

empowered, inspired. And if you are not feeling all these good

Unknown:

feelings, I hope my episode here helps you to find a space where

Unknown:

you can recharge your batteries and get back to yourself. I want

Unknown:

to take a deep breath. It's been a crazy busy day. And winding

Unknown:

down is really, really important. So whatever you do

Unknown:

right now, if you're not driving, if you're not riding a

Unknown:

bicycle or operating machinery, maybe you want to take a moment

Unknown:

and just close your eyes and breathe in through your nose,

Unknown:

exhale through your mouth. And I'll keep keep to a deep breath.

Unknown:

And you will see how positively it can affect your mind and your

Unknown:

body. I will try and stick to my deep breathing, I usually have a

Unknown:

more shallow breath. Alright, so today, I want to talk about

Unknown:

decision making. But I want to reflect on the other side of

Unknown:

decision making. So let's say a couple of weeks ago, I talked

Unknown:

about decision making. And you making decisions today I want to

Unknown:

talk about the decisions that you are not making the choices

Unknown:

that you are not chasing after you not making a decision is

Unknown:

also a decision right? Not rising. raising your voice

Unknown:

excuse me, is also a statement when it comes to voting, for

Unknown:

instance, not going out there to vote will give you a vote to

Unknown:

another person. You deciding to stay in a relationship that is

Unknown:

mediocre, that is not really awesome. But also not too

Unknown:

terrible. is a statement. You saying yes to everybody. And

Unknown:

never being able to set a boundary to say no, also is a

Unknown:

statement. So whatever we do, everything has an impact. And I

Unknown:

feel and for the longest time, I thought that if I feel

Unknown:

conflicted, and I don't make a decision, then I'm at peace,

Unknown:

then I will have this sense of security that will make me feel

Unknown:

good. But what I was not realizing is that this sense of

Unknown:

security is false. Not making a decision because of wanting to

Unknown:

avoid drama, conflict, or whatever it is you want to avoid

Unknown:

is also going to have an impact on your life. And to come to

Unknown:

that realization, it made me feel very uncomfortable because

Unknown:

I realized that I was doing that for many, many years. Instead of

Unknown:

making a decision and regretting it in the future, I decided to

Unknown:

not take action and to stay in certain situations thinking that

Unknown:

this would be the safe way out. Well, my darling, this is what

Unknown:

I've learned. There is no safe way out. If you don't take

Unknown:

action if You don't make a decision it will impact your

Unknown:

life in a way that you really, really don't want. So, taking

Unknown:

action, sometimes a taking a risk might be better than

Unknown:

staying stuck voluntarily, not changing anything. And thinking

Unknown:

that this is the safe way out.

Unknown:

So if that is news to you like it was to me,

Unknown:

it is scary, right? Because all of a sudden you realize, oh my

Unknown:

god, I'm responsible for my actions. I'm responsible for my

Unknown:

happiness right now. If I'm not happy right now, I can't blame

Unknown:

anybody else outside of me. It is all on me, I have to take

Unknown:

100% ownership when it comes to my life, when it comes to my

Unknown:

happiness, contentment when it comes to my relationship

Unknown:

satisfaction, my job satisfaction. So I will keep

Unknown:

this episode fairly short today and invite you to think about

Unknown:

the decisions in the future that you want to be making. Knowing

Unknown:

that taking action is going to benefit you. And not taking

Unknown:

action is not going to make you be safe. And it's not going to

Unknown:

get you closer to your goals and dreams, your goals and dreams

Unknown:

you cannot reach by not making decisions. And there's always

Unknown:

you know, something to be lost when you make a decisions, but

Unknown:

there's always something to be one as well. So if you will make

Unknown:

a decision that you regret down the road, there will always be

Unknown:

something positive about it, even though you didn't like the

Unknown:

outcome. You have the balls to take action, you failed. You're

Unknown:

gonna make a new decision soon and you will succeed eventually,

Unknown:

but staying stuck, not making decisions is not gonna get you

Unknown:

anywhere. So I'm gonna leave you with that. And yeah, share your

Unknown:

comments with me. Share your experience with choice making

Unknown:

decision making with me, and I will be out there very soon

Unknown:

again. Take care. Bye bye
