Decisions are simply a part of life. There are small daily ones with small consequences. And, there are the life-altering, enormous ones that can cause us a great amount of stress, anxiety and indecision. Since making decisions are inevitable, we need to know how to approach this process—especially if we find ourselves becoming STUCK in our own indecision. In this episode, Giovanna walks us through the process of decision making. She discusses how we can make a decision from a place of clarity and peace instead of one that is influenced by our own ego and rational thinking. She discusses the NEED to tap into our Source, Guide, or Higher Self to seek true direction and encourages listeners in how they can make time in their busy lives to do so.
Today’s episode is about decisions

A lot of people suffer from the agony of making decisions

At the center of all your stresses is YOU
Call in your higher self or source
Ask yourself a question—a decision that is pending, or something that poses a challenge for you
Ask the spirit or higher guidance to come and help us in this process of tapping in
How did the process of tapping go for you? How did it affect you?
The very place we need to go is usually the place which is the most difficult for us to connect
Making quick decisions is something that eludes Giovanna
Tapping into yourself is an exercise to know yourself within
Cultivate and develop your ability to go into your quiet space
People are so entrenched in the external world that they forget to listen to their internal world
Your relationship to yourself and your relationship with your source is MOST important
Trust in yourself is important for making decisions
Giovanna shares a quote from Deepak Chopra, The Book of Secrets: Unlocking the Hidden Dimensions of Your Life
Look at the Universe or Source from a different perspective other than suffering the consequences of making a wrong decision
Indecision gets you stuck
Where is your indecision keeping you stuck?
How is does your indecision manifest in your life?
A Course in Miracles’ has a lesson that says, “If I make no decisions by myself, this is the day that will be given to me”
In your willingness to find the answer, you need to acknowledge that your ego and logical thinking is actually the one making the decision
The decision that is made from logic and intellect is NOT from a place of peace and clarity
Learning principles and then, applying principles are TWO different things
Take a moment and connect with yourself
Write down whatever question comes to you
Make 2 columns – write your fears on the left side, and on the right, write the possibilities or outcomes
What is influencing your decision-making?
Willingness to ask and seek the answer to your questions is very powerful
Acknowledge that you do NOT know the answer
The sense of “knowing” is in the foreground and the small voice within you is usually placed in the background
Indecision is a byproduct of not trusting yourself
Intuitive Action and Massive Action should come together in every decision
Exercise your decision-making muscle by spending at least 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes at night tapping into your Higher Self
Your mind’s job is to constantly be working
Notice your thoughts happening, but don’t shut them down
Invite your guide
Let go of your decision BEFORE proceeding to try and answer it again
Surrendering your decision and asking your guide for the answer is KEY in this exercise
When you get distracted, catch that you’ve gone astray and bring yourself back
Trust that you can connect with your intuition and Higher Self
