Staying stuck is still a choice—and it’s costing you more than you think.
Indecision feels safe because it delays consequences.
But in reality, it’s just fear wearing a mask of logic.
Every time you say “I don’t know,” but deep down—you do—
you trade alignment for delay, truth for tolerance, and progress for paralysis.
You think you’re buying time.
But really? You’re buying anxiety.
Confusion becomes your comfort zone,
and clarity starts to feel threatening.
Here’s the truth:
Not deciding is a decision.
And it’s costing you your peace, your time, your power.
Mini Scenario:
You’ve thought about leaving.
The job. The project. The relationship.
You’ve journaled. Prayed. Vented.
But weeks—maybe months—have passed… and nothing’s changed.
Because you’ve mistaken overthinking for discernment.
And every day you don’t act… you drift further from the life that wants to meet you.
Moving Through the Uncertainty:
- Call It What It Is – Say it out loud: “I’ve been avoiding a decision.”
- Write the Real Fear – What’s the perceived consequence of deciding? (Judgment, failure, regret?)
- Reverse the Cost – What’s the actual cost of staying stuck? (Time? Energy? Identity?)
- Pick One Thing – Don’t decide everything. Just decide one piece of it.
- Set a Decision Date – Give yourself a 24–72 hour window. Commit to clarity—not perfection.
Reflection Prompts:
- What’s one area I’ve been silently delaying a decision in?
- If I trusted myself fully, what would I choose?
- What am I afraid will happen if I decide—and what’s already happening because I haven’t?
- What kind of peace could I access if I just moved forward?
