#107: How to Trust Yourself When You Keep Changing Your Mind

You've thought it through, and your decision makes sense. But then another concern comes up, and you can make just as good a case for doing something else.

After a while, you start to wonder whether you can trust your own judgment.

Being smart can make this harder, because you can build a convincing argument for whichever option you feel most pulled toward.

For example, maybe you no longer enjoy your job. One part of you fears wasting more years there, while another worries about giving up what you've earned. You understand both, but you still have to decide whether to stay, go, or do something else?

And when you try to dismiss these concerns, the parts of you that have them become more urgent. You end up arguing with yourself, hoping one side will finally shut up.

In this episode, you'll learn how to understand what each part of you is actually trying to do and make a choice while still caring for the parts that disagree. That's self-leadership.

You'll also experience a short guided exercise to practice hearing those concerns without letting the strongest fear decide everything.

Whether you're facing a life transition, a troubled relationship, or an ordinary daily choice, you can build self-trust without first needing every doubt to disappear.

Listen now.
