What Should I Do?

Posted on March 03, 2015 by Diana Blake, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.

We’re all familiar with decisions — we make them every day. Many of our decisions are made without much conscious thought. Others require that we weigh options. But once in a while, along comes a very big decision that requires a large amount of contemplation. Interestingly, these decisions are often not critical to our physical survival. But they are often critical to our happiness.

Why do we sometimes find it difficult to make big decisions? The more important the decision, the more emotional we are about it and the more we fear making the wrong decision. When our emotions are involved, we can become overwhelmed and find it hard to think clearly. We can seek help from family and friends but they are the least likely to be objective. They also may not have the skills to guide us through the decision-making process and achieve clarity.

An alternative to relying on friends and family for help with decisions is to work with a professional life coach. Not only do life coaches have exceptional listening skills but they are experts at identifying values and fears you are not fully aware of. They know how to turn dreams into realistic goals. They have a talent for thinking outside of the box and identifying options you might not have thought of. They are known for their valuable insights based on a broad range of experience with life issues. They excel at planning and will hold you accountable to meeting your objectives.

You alone will have to make your decision; your life coach cannot do that for you. But she will give you the confidence you need to decide. So if you’re stuck and can’t seem to make an important decision, contact a life coach. It may be the best decision you ever make!
