I was coaching a client the other week and noticed a pattern we both decided to blog about…
Guilt rides in on the shoulders of second-guessing. Power comes after a strong and certain decision has been made.
Want less guilt?
Make decisions faster – and decide ahead of time not to question yourself.
Want to feel more powerful?
Plan ahead to quash second-guessing the second you catch yourself doing it.
Think about it – did following yourself around, beating yourself up with different scenarios for the thing that has already happened, help you? At all? Like, even a tiny bit?
Sure, review, learn, get better – but dare I say NEVER second-guess, it’s just brewing up guilt.
The feeling of power moves the needle faster than feeling guilty.
Try it. Report back.
