The Paralysis of Inaction

Don’t get stuck in #inaction.

I spent over an hour today trying to make a decision on what to do tonight.

I spent way to much #emotionalenergy trying to make the best and right decision.

I still haven’t fully come to a conclusion but at least the ball is rolling and I’m not spiraling out stuck in #thinking and #feeling.

I put forth some action, and took my dog for a walk and realized how dumb it was to be stuck in the paralysis of inaction.

@timferris shared a tip to help in this arena. Make decisions based on a one to ten scale, but 7 isn’t an option. That helps you pretty quickly decide if you really want to do something, or really don’t want to.

After we’ve made the decision then don’t get stuck in more #emotionalhemorrhaging with #guilt.

By making a choice to say yes to one thing, you are saying no to everything else. Make the choice wisely and don’t be plagued and weighed down with #fomo. We cannot say yes to everything, it’s impossible. Live with clear priorities. What really matters and is it going to truly give you #life and #joy?#kylo

Let’s try to stop making obligatory decisions. Saying yes to something and then hating it isn’t good for us, and its not good for the people around us. Let’s from the get go say yes to things we’re truly excited about it and no to 7 and below choices.

Or if you do value this choice, but it’s not exciting, choose to have a good attitude about it, because what you’re choosing maters even if its not fun.

And if you’re wondering, I did take that photo in like 2012. I gotta start making more images like that.

I’m a #type4 on the #enneagram

That’s why I’m naturally doing repressed which has helped me realize my habit of getting stuck and spiraling out in thinking and feeling.

And out of anger, guilt and fear, my most common emotion is guilt.

Taking time to think about those 6 words above have helped me in my growth process.

What are you?
