When the sea of possibilities is once again overwhelming and the mental ping-pong in your head undermines your decision, you need a quick remedy! With a simple formula and a little trick, you can help yourself to make a coherent decision in the future.
What is the best next step? Which switch should I set for myself? What is better for me to decide against? Should I reject or accept? When the checklist of pros and cons no longer helps and you feel blocked, the 10:10:10 formula comes into play.
Take a deep breath, ground yourself and imagine what your life will look like with the decision in ten minutes, ten days and ten weeks. Use this system for short-term decisions. When it comes to big life-changing decisions, you can choose longer periods of time. What will your life look like with this decision in ten weeks, ten months or ten years? If you think about your future in this way, you will feel whether this decision is right for you.
But sometimes the coin trick also helps. You decide which decision is heads or tails. If you then flip the coin and are disappointed with the result, you also have your answer. With these two techniques you help yourself to express your inner wisdom. Not your head, but your deep inner knowing becomes your guide. That is true self-leadership. And ask yourself again and again: Does this path have a heart? That is the best short formula for making good decisions.
