Your mind starts racing with all the bad things that could happen if you move forward with your idea. Some of these concerns might sound legitimate, which just adds to the confusion. How can you tell if you’re making a decision out of fear or out of wisdom? How can you connect to your soul to know if something is right for you or not? In this episode, I’m giving you a quick and easy five-step process to overcome fear in decision-making. Using this process, you will learn how to identify the specific fears you have, how to figure out which of them are true (and which are just stories) and how to get out of your head and intuitively make a decision from your heart.

They’re just stories we’re telling ourselves.” - Michelle Chalfant “Write down as many as you can until you have exhausted that part of your brain that’s kicking out all the fears.” - Michelle Chalfant “The idea is you want to be able to see what thoughts you’re having around the decision.” - Michelle Chalfant “If it’s not 100% fact and truth, you’re gonna cross it off the list.” - Michelle Chalfant “When you feel it in the body, it anchors in your new truth.” - Michelle Chalfant “Fear is a stimulating emotion.” - Michelle Chalfant “That takes us out of fight or flight. That puts us in the parasympathetic nervous system, which is the rest and relax.
