When 51% is enough: Stuck in indecision? Your answer is closer than you think. Here's how to choose it...

Jan 30, 2025

You're a decision master. Your whole day is a series of choices, and you make so many with ease that you don't even register you're making them.

You decide not to hit snooze because you know you have an early case.
You snap on that seatbelt because the safety evidence is overwhelmingly clear.
You choose to park near the entrance because it's raining.

These may not even feel like "decisions" because they're so clear to you.
But somehow, we expect all decisions to feel this obvious, and when they don't, we can get stuck in indecision land.

When you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed by a decision, it's often because it's more of a "tie" between two choices. Here's the good news: there may not be a "right" answer, but there is a "your" right answer. Your right answer is simply the answer you choose.

Yet, in these moments of indecision, we often seek outside input—friends' opinions, Google searches—but the answer actually lies within you.

What if, instead of needing absolute certainty, you only had to decide that one choice was 51% more right for you? 

Hmm…what a relief?!
A 51% decision can be your right decision, you just need to have your own back!

We usually tell ourselves these things because we're trying to stop. A little guilt should help, right? Except it does the opposite. Now you're not just...
Don't think about this: There is a difference between growth and tolerance
You’re learning how to shift your thoughts.And you’re getting kinda good at it.Maybe even a little competitive about it? You’re in a difficult situation and you go to work.Reframing. Searching for a more helpful angle.There must be a way to choose a thought that makes this feel okay. All this thought work feels productive. You want to be an A+ self-coacher. But sometimes thought work turns into...
You're not late: What if this is exactly when it happens
After a long, long time of not exercising consistently, the two of us crossed over the 6-month mark of meeting daily at 5:30am to do strength training.  While every once in a while our brains offer us thoughts of pride in our consistency, way too often we hear the internal refrain of “I should have started this years ago.”  Exercising.Writing.Saving.Setting boundaries.Making that change you kee...
