If you've got decision overload, feel like you've got too many choices, then try this different perspective to help reduce the overwhelm.

Because when we're overwhelmed it often feels like we have make every decision for the whole of the situation we're struggling with now - this minute (whatever the situation) - which means if we have 100 decisions we think we've got to make them all now - the image shows that thinking and demonstrates why it's confusing and overwhelming.

In reality, when out for a walk we only have one crossroads, one decision, at a time - and any situation in our life is the same.

and then we join that first decision to the next and then the next.

What one decision do you have to make today?

There’s posts, poems, blogs, Landscaping Your Life YouTube channel, Landscaping Your Life with Alison smith podcast episodes (my own and as a guest), a Landscaping Your Life newsletter, ezine, pdfs (there’s even one on helping you see the wood for the trees), two books (Can't see the wood for the trees - landscaping your life to get back on track and Your Prescription for Wellbeing Journal) all sharing insight to help you find clarity and focus when you’re overwhelmed, confused, stuck or lost.
