Published: Oct. 19, 2017, 8 a.m.

Have you ever caught yourself making a decision that you didn\u2019t whole-heartedly want to commit to? Perhaps someone gave you advice or maybe there was an expectation set months before about something.\n \xa0\n Today\u2019s episode is all about making decisions that you actually feel good about. It\u2019s trusting that inner gut and knowing that you made the right call for you.\n \xa0\n \u201cWe all have inner wisdom and you know what is best for you.\u201d\n \xa0\n So why don\u2019t we use this supposed guru ability? I promise it\u2019s there, you just have to unlock it again. I\u2019ve learned over the years (more so recently) that if I\u2019m not slowing down and taking the time to get clear on what\u2019s truly right for me, I\u2019m scattered and super indecisive.\n \xa0\n Did you catch that? Slow down and give yourself space \u2013 both physically and mentally. (Confession\u2026 those words may or may not be more for me than you as I am taking my own advice daily.) For me that\u2019s taking long walks, going for a run or just going somewhere quiet to connect with my own thoughts. And keep in mind that it can take as little time as 15-60 minutes. Even if it\u2019s not clear in that amount of time, see what pulls at your heart even just a little.\n \xa0\n I\u2019m not gonna lie. Some answers will come quicker than others. And often \u201csleeping on it\u201d helps the most (science proves it)! Regardless of how quickly the answers come, know that you are the expert on YOU. Repeat the following phrases to help reinforce this notion.\n \xa0\n \u201cI have an inner guide. I have the wisdom within.\u201d\n \xa0\n Know that wisdom comes in many different forms and at the most random times. Learn what things make you feel good and that all is right with your world. After all\u2026\n \xa0\n \u201cYou are the smartest person you know when it comes to you.\u201d\n \xa0\n \xa0\n In This Episode You Will Learn:\n \xa0\n How to trust your \u201cgut feeling\u201d\n Why we need space and time to make decisions\n Why we find it easier to listen to others about what we want\n \xa0\n Resources:\n \xa0\n The Bliss Project 2018\n March 2-4, 2018 | Newport Beach, CA\n http://www.TheBlissProject.info\n \xa0\n Checkout my website at loriharder.com.
