Decision Making Made Easy
Jul 25, 2016

We all have values. They are our fundamental beliefs and the rules we live by in our daily lives. In my last blog, I encouraged you to recognise and prioritise your values and what they mean to you. Now it’s time to look at how you can use these values to help you make better choices and decisions.

Live By Your Beliefs
By now, having identified your values, you will now have begun to understand more about them, what they mean to you and how they impact in all sorts of ways on your life. You will live your most fulfilled and happiest life when you are living congruently with your values. A lack of alignment between values and reality leads to unhappiness and can cause real problems in your home life as a mum and as someone who is relied upon by so many other people, in so many different guises.

What Feels Right?
When you live congruently with your values, all is generally good. The benefits include feeling greater peace, a sense of fulfilment and happiness. If your values are not being adhered to, life can become a struggle. You can feel resentment, unhappiness and a disconnection with yourself when you’re in conflict with one or more of your values. If you feel that you may not be as happy as you could be, it’s time to make use of the core personal values you identified in the exercise in my earlier blog, Define What Matters To You.

Keep Focused
Practice focusing on your values; bring them into your daily life, especially when you have a decision to make. Understanding what’s important to you will enable you to address any decisions you have to make, confident in the knowledge that they are aligned with your values. Having prioritised your values, you’ll be able to choose quickly and believe it’s the right choice for you. With your new found belief in your decision making, self-doubt is eliminated in the process.

When you are anything other than happy, the solution will always relate directly to a core personal value or values. Pinpoint where there has been an incongruence between your values and your real life. Identifying that point or points gives you an opportunity to make an alternative choice or decision, to take a different route that will bring you back into alignment with your core values. This enables you to quickly get back on track and feel much happier.

Acknowledge and celebrate how decisive you have become. Raising your own awareness and living by your own values – what means most to you – will make you and your life stronger and more fulfilled.
