You want to be the Best Version of You in 2022 and you have a big decision to make. Have you been avoiding making the decision? You want a yes or no answer and you want it now. The more you think about it, the more it stresses you out.
Should you make a list of pros and cons or trust your intuition? How do you know you are making the right decision? What if you decide on something and then regret it and change your mind later? What if people hate your decision or hate you because of your decision? What if you disappoint people? *cringe*. Fear-induced panic creeps in and suddenly you can’t bring yourself to decide.
Every one of us has had these thoughts. Sometimes people refer to them as “limiting beliefs”. Thoughts like these often come with unpleasant strong emotions and bodily reactions like a racing heart or sweaty palms. That is what we are really trying to avoid when we put of making decisions.
Even though these thoughts are valid, spending too much time worrying is rarely productive. In fact, negative emotions from stress can wreak havoc on your mind and body. You don’t want that!
I came up with these affirmations while wrestling with my own limiting beliefs. Affirmations are short phrases you can say to help shift your thoughts and your mood fast. Affirmations can help you shift into a more positive mindset. If you use them often, can help you become the best version of yourself.
Give these affirmations a try next time you have to make a big decision.
