Ever find yourself caught in a tug of war between your head and your heart, battling a storm of indecision??
You know, those moments when your mind is a cyclone of thoughts, and yet, there's no lighthouse in sight. The burden of each unmade decision pressing down, the fear of choosing the wrong path constantly nipping at your heels.
I've been there, right in the midst of that classic conundrum. Knowing what I should do, yet tethered by the apprehension of the potential ripple effects. Maybe, like me, you're also afraid of upsetting the apple cart, of turning your world on its head.
How do you make a decision when your emotions are like taut strings pulling you in all directions? It's the question that often keeps us, leaders, entrepreneurs and business owners? up at night, staring at the ceiling, our minds racing.
Picture this: You're at the helm of a mission that’s bigger than yourself. You have an inkling of the direction you should be heading, but there's a shiver of fear that holds you back. It's a fear of stirring up calm waters, or the nagging worry of missing out on a potentially superior route. That good old FOMO, it can get the best of even the most seasoned leaders, can't it?
So, how do you steer through this dense fog of indecision??
As strange as it sounds, have you ever considered flipping a coin? Bear with me here.?
Assign 'yes' to heads and 'no' to tails, give it a good toss, and see what fate presents.?
The real magic isn't in the coin’s landing but in your gut reaction to it.?
Did your heart flutter with excitement or plummet with disappointment? This ostensibly random act isn't about surrendering your choice to chance; it's about tapping into your deepest gut feelings.
Here's the fascinating part: when your conscious and unconscious mind harmonize, your brain basks in a sense of satisfaction. The decision not only appears logical, but it also feels right, resonating like a perfectly tuned melody.
However, if your unconscious mind waves a red flag at your conscious decision, your brain picks up on the discord. It rings the alarm bell, sending out that shudder of apprehension that something isn't quite in tune.
Flipping a coin isn't a frivolous exercise. It's a potent tool that opens a window into your intuition, revealing your hidden desires and deepest fears.?
In the fleeting moment that the coin is airborne, you might find the clarity you're seeking.

1 年This is great perspective Rita! As a fighter pilot I often had to go with my gut and rely on past training to steer me. I think your message and perspective fits right in. By “flipping a coin” we can create an alien catalyst to drive our inner instinct toward what we knew was the best course, regardless. Am I on the right path? Love your stuff????
