So often, decision-making is hard not because we don’t know what to do – but because multiple parts of us want to be heard.
It’s about the many voices within us, each tugging in a different direction.
The voice of fear, warning you of what could go wrong.
The voice of “shoulds,” reminding you of expectations – yours or those borrowed from others.
The voice of your body, asking for rest, for movement, or nudging you toward connection even though it feels scary.
Or the voice of old patterns, pulling you back into what feels familiar, even when it no longer serves you.
With so much noise, it’s no surprise that mental clarity can feel far away.
But when you recognise this conflict and return to your values (your underlying principles and framework for a fulfilling life) the path can become more clear.
Because when we are making decisions based on our values, it becomes less about being ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ or what we ‘should’ do, and more about what is aligned or misaligned with the life we want to lead.
If you’d like support in learning how to clarify your values, navigate inner conflict and feel more at ease in your choices, this is part of the work I do. You know how to find me.
