How often do you make a decision and then second-guess yourself? Some of us over think everything. We make a decision, we’re comfortable with it, we take action. Should be the end of the story, right? Not for everyone.
Sometimes, though, it’s easy to get caught up in the other choices – the road not taken. What if? What if? What if?
It’s time to chase those gremlins off. Here are some questions that might be more productive:
1.What would have stayed the same or gotten worse if I did not make the choice I did? How would I feel about that?
2. How would I feel if I continued along the same path? About myself? Abut other people? About my work?
3. What did I learn from this choice? About myself? My process? Others involved?
4. How will I use what I learned moving forward?
5. What have I gained?
These seem like a good start at letting go and moving on. I’ll be using them myself.
