I am sure you know the feeling that you should already take a decision but you are clueless of how to choose. And when it comes to greater life decisions, it can be daunting. It involves complexity, contradicting wishes, expectations and a big question mark regarding the future. It often comes with a risk; the risk of losing what you have or not managing to create the reality that you wish for. In these situations we can’t just make a logical decision. Our decision must integrate our (sometimes contradicting) emotions, wishes, insights and intuitions. We have to be convinced or want something enough to take the risk and deal with the consequences whatever they may be.

I look at decision making as a process that takes place on parallel levels; creating clarity of what is good for us and what we want and deriving motivation from the situation around us, allowing it to affect our decisions. Sometimes, something has to happen so a decision is ripe and tangible for us.

Connecting with our body, allows us to dive into our emotions and wishes and achieve a wider perspective of ourselves and the situation we are facing. It allows us to create a conscious decision and gain the energy to choose and move forward.
