7 Key Strategies to Effortless Decision Making

You are faced with a decision. Whether it is personal or professional, it can leave you feeling stressed, anxious, worried or stuck. Perhaps you are apprehensive about the outcome of your decision or whether you should make it or not, or you just don't know what to do.

Think of decisions as change, movement, alignment and opportunities to grow and learn. Often when making decisions we come up against resistance and fear. These are opportunities to stretch ourselves and let go of old patterns or beliefs.

Wouldn't it be great if there was a sign that read "Effortless Decision Making This Way"? Guess what that is. You and your thinking are it! When you question your thinking on what is holding you back then you are well on your way to making a smooth decision.

Here are 7 key strategies to effortless decision making:

1. Are there any other choices other than the decision you are making?
