Do you ever get decision fatigue? If you are a parent or in a leadership role or even a human who has to eat you have probably experienced decision fatigue at one time or another. Have you seen how many jams there are to choose from in the market!?!

I know some couples who dread the question, so what do you want to eat? (haha).

I know there are some times when I have being directing or producing when what I crave is to go home, meditate with the lights off and create some time and space to just be…. without making a single decision. Yet I know that having free will, knowing what I what, making choices is essential to empowerment….

and practise makes perfect…..

So as many times as possible in my day before beginning a new task I get centred, ask myself what I want and imagine what it is like to live that vision. I have a five step process if you would like to know more please email for the link. 

There are also situations when you may be presented with two choices and either option may be appealing or seem challenging. When you are two awesome option but can only choose one that is what I call a beautiful problem. What about the two challenging options? Or when you need to make a decision that makes you ponder on your codes of ethics and sense of integrity.

Below is an exercise that engages both your logical / rationale conscious mind, and your intuitive, creative subconscious mind. If it resonance with you give it a go and let me know what your experience is. 

1.Take a deep breath and centre yourself.
2. Write your challenge in detail (around a page).
3. Condense that to a paragraph
4. Condense that to a sentence
5. Condense that to a word or image
6. Get yourself into a meditative state. I suggest using a singing bowl if you have one and listen to the bell or watch your breath for five minutes or look at nature for a few minutes (clouds, the ocean, fire / a candle, non-verbal music)
7. Set a timer for 5 minutes and meditate on the word or image you choose.
8. Write what insights came to you in the meditation period. You may receive images, thoughts, etc. Start with a sentence, expand to a paragraph and continue writing if you feel you have more to express.
9. Enjoy the clarity and take action.
