The Psychology of Decision-Making: Why Choices Can Overwhelm Us

Decision-making will never be free of discomfort. But maybe that’s not the goal. Maybe the goal is to lean into choices with courage, curiosity, and self-compassion - knowing that no matter what you pick, you’re capable of learning, adapting, and growing along the way.

Life rarely gives us perfect answers. What it does give us are moments of choice - opportunities to step toward the life we want, one decision at a time.

So the next time you find yourself overwhelmed by choices, take a breath. Remind yourself: I don’t need to find the perfect option. I just need to take the next honest step.

Because more than the decision itself, what matters most is the person you’re becoming through it.
