BIG Choices
When the way things are is too costly to your well-being than the way things could be if you blew up your life to expand your choices, you’ll change course.
Big choices feel big because they are. They alter how you see yourself.
- Putting your kids in school or pulling them out.
- Staying married or getting a divorce.
- Going to grad school or putting it off.
- Doing chemo or stopping it.
- Moving away from your family or moving back to be near them.
- Staying in your religious faith or leaving it.
- Exploring a new perspective or doubling down on the one you have.
- Having another baby or stopping.
- Working outside the home or being a SAHM.
- Giving up an addiction…
You’ll know when you know.
You deserve to lead a life that gives you hope.
You deserve as good a life as the one you want for your children.
One question that helped me was: “If I were to counsel one of my kids about this issue once they’re an adult, how would I lean?”
One idea that helped me: “You get to keep making choices. This isn’t the last one you’ll ever make.”
Keep going. Rooting for you.
No one changes course until the tipping point. It’s okay if the tipping point hasn’t yet tipped. Be patient. You’ll know when you know. You’ll move in the direction of your hope and release at the right time for you.
