Decision making can be hard, especially for caretakers who are doing it non-stop. Make decisions from your values not fear.
Fear says:
“Don’t upset anyone.”
“Keep the peace.”
“What if it goes wrong?”
Values say:
“I want to be honest.”
“I want to be present.”
“I want to grow.”
Values-based decisions don’t always feel comfortable.
But they do feel clear. When you’re stuck, ask yourself:
If fear wasn’t in charge, what would align with the kind of person I want to be?
That’s your answer. It is not easy but it is clear.
