Escape the Either/Or Trap & Discover Better Choices

Have you ever felt trapped between two choices, like you’re stuck choosing between option A or B, and neither feels quite right? If you’re nodding along, you’re not alone. Many of us feel stifled when our decisions boil down to just a couple of choices, which often leads to exhaustion and a sense of being uninspired.

Here’s the thing: leading with limited choices means you might be leaving significant value on the table. The key indicator that you’re on the wrong track? You’re not feeling inspired at all.

The Power of Reframing Your Decision

A great trick to feel more inspired and capture more value from your decisionsโ€”whether for personal growth, your family, or your careerโ€”is to connect more deeply with what you want out of the decision. Instead of limiting your options, ask yourself broader questions that open up possibilities.

For instance, instead of wondering, “Should I be a product manager or a project manager?” think broader. Ask yourself, “How can I find a role where I can leverage my strengths and grow in new ways?” This approach doesn’t just broaden your options; it invites new and exciting possibilities into your decision-making process.

Expand Your View

This method is called ‘reframing,’ and it’s about pulling back to take a wider viewโ€”seeking something more inspiring and aligned with your true desires. The best indication that you’re on the right track is how you feel about the choices before you. Does it feel like a chore, or does it inspire excitement? Does it make you feel boxed in or does it open up possibilities?

I invite you to lean into this approach. Explore your decisions with the intent to get more of what you truly want. After all, isn’t that what decision-making is all about?
