March-Choices
March 2010
Dear [fname],
March is here and I can finally see an end to this long cold winter we are having
here in Chicago!! Warm weather is on its way and I am hoping it is here to stay.
Looking forward to getting out and making some spring and summer plans with
my family.

Along with making my plans comes many choices: Where do we go on vacation?
Do we drive or fly somewhere? Are we going to see family and friends? How long
is our vacation going to be? etc. In fact, today more than ever we have many more
choices and it can become quite overwhelming. One might think that the more
choices we have the easier it is or the happier we are. However, having too many
choices can leave us paralyzed with indecision making it difficult to pick the “right”
choice.

When you think about the choices you make do you ever wonder if you are making
the right decision? If you are paralyzed with indecision or fear of making the wrong
choice how does this impact your goals? Does it prevent you from moving
forward?
Below are a few tips to keep in mind when making choices?

•Remember that any choice you make is not necessarily wrong but
it just may not be what you envisioned. Take this as a learning opportunity where
you can gain more self-knowledge and experience. What did it teach you?

•Let go of perfection. Many of us are looking for that one “right” answer and will
put off making a decision until we feel we have found that perfect answer. Keep in
mind that there is no right answer. Every choice is the perfect choice because
there is something to gain from every choice-even when it leads us down a
different path.

•Think about past choices. When in the past did you think you were making a
“wrong” choice and it actually turned out okay after all? Remind yourself of these
times and experience those feelings again to see the good that came out of those
choices.

•Small steps. To help ease the feeling of being overwhelmed take your time in
making your decision by researching and collecting more information. The more
informed decision you make the less risky it will feel. Break it down and look at it
in a smaller context-this will help you wrap your head around it.

•Take action. Any action is better than no action. Don’t get caught up in analysis
paralysis. For many of us indecision stems from over thinking it or getting
comfortable sitting around (and taking no action). Do not get too comfortable; force
yourself to take action even if it’s little action. Although the action you take may not
feel like the “right” action it will most likely lead you to the right action or at least
open more doors to allow for the “right” action to enter your life!

Hope the above tips were helpful. And remember there are no WRONG choices
only different paths. So when that doubt creeps in and you question if you are
making the right choice remind yourself that whatever choice you make it is the
choice for you even if it comes with challenges and obstacles. Without these
challenges we would not grow!
