338: How to Overcome Fear in Decision-Making
You get an idea, you have something you want to do or you become aware of a change you want to make. The first thing you feel is excitement\u2026and then suddenly, the fear hits.
Your mind starts racing with all the bad things that could happen if you move forward with your idea. Some of these concerns might sound legitimate, which just adds to the confusion.
How can you tell if you\u2019re making a decision out of fear or out of wisdom? How can you connect to your soul to know if something is right for you or not?
In this episode, I\u2019m giving you a quick and easy five-step process to overcome fear in decision-making. Using this process, you will learn how to identify the specific fears you have, how to figure out which of them are true (and which are just stories) and how to get out of your head and intuitively make a decision from your heart.

- How to make decisions from a heart-centered place instead of a fear-centered one
Here\u2019s the thing: it\u2019s normal to feel fear when making a big decision, and at the same time, fear isn\u2019t always a sign that we shouldn\u2019t move forward.
When we learn to unwind our stories and get into our bodies, we can tell the difference between empty fear and intuitive guidance and learn to make the decisions that are truly best for us.
\u201cWe think that it\u2019s real, all of these fears, but what we find is most of them are not. They\u2019re just stories we\u2019re telling ourselves.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant
\u201cWrite down as many as you can until you have exhausted that part of your brain that\u2019s kicking out all the fears.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant
\u201cThe idea is you want to be able to see what thoughts you\u2019re having around the decision.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant
\u201cIf it\u2019s not 100% fact and truth, you\u2019re gonna cross it off the list.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant
\u201cWhen you feel it in the body, it anchors in your new truth.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant
\u201cFear is a stimulating emotion.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant
\u201cThat takes us out of fight or flight. That puts us in the parasympathetic nervous system, which is the rest and relax. Then we can think clearly again.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant
\u201cSometimes when we make decisions, there\u2019s a little bit of fear there. If fear is there, it doesn\u2019t mean that we shouldn\u2019t move forward.\u201d\xa0 - Michelle Chalfant
\u201cWe want to make soul-driven decisions.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant
\u201cWe don\u2019t make the right decisions when we\u2019re only in our heads.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant
