Does this resonate with anyone? Choice PARALYSIS can often be associate with ADHD. I’ve been overwhelmed with what to do NEXT for a while. When you decide to make a change, it can feel difficult to know what to change TO! I know what I want to let go of, but what I go towards?
Now that I’m clear how much future is going to feel, I can concentrate on what the concrete steps are going to be. And honestly, honing in on just one thing is tough.
Yes, me too, I want to feel healthy and fit. Okay I could do yoga, running, rock climbing, weightlifting, smoothie making, food whatever mapping and cold showers. GAH! That sounds like a lot! And I could genuinely get excited about all of them and dive right in, but I know better now that it wouldn’t be sustainable. It wouldn’t actually motivate me once things got hard.
So what do I do? Well, the other day I was thinking about this and it hit me. Wasn’t this what I wanted? No really, this is what I had MANIFESTED months ago. What did I repeat over and over in my head over the summer - a mantra of ABUNDANCE. I almost laughed out loud because it felt like I brought it on myself. The universe gave me what I wanted. A million things to choose from - isn’t that what abundance is?
And to release myself from the choice I did one single trick.
I reminded myself I also had the choice to do nothing.
Of course I did! I didn’t HAVE to do anything, that’s what made it a choice. So instead of trying to fit everything in, I’ll be making my choices with the attitude like they are a spread on a beautiful charcuterie board. Maybe I’ll try cold showers, maybe I’ll try that Zumba class, just once to see if I’ll like it.
The trick for right now is to get unstuck, and when I get a sense of what I really am vibing with, I’ll work on diving in one thing at a time.
I hope this helps you with any choice paralysis you’ve been experiencing! And please send it to a friend if you think it’ll help them!
