“What if I fall?” Oh but my darling, What if you fly? ~ Eric Hanson
Do you have decision overload and end up doing nothing?
It’s easy to feel a bit lost when the next step in your life plan feels so overwhelming that you freeze up and procrastinate… Which is your brains reaction to a perceived threat.
I see this particularly in younger clients who feel there are certain hoops they need to jump through in order for the next chapter in their lives to begin.
They have to meet THE partner or establish the RIGHT career before STARTING a family or AFFORDING a house in the right area to be close to the RIGHT school… exhausting and also frightening as the constant backdrop is ‘what if I fail.’
It can create analysis paralysis meaning it is impossible to make any decisions as the fear of getting it wrong is so huge.
