I was talking something through with my coach recently that I had been waffling back and forth on for a while.
I could make a case for either direction.
I had reasons.
I had doubts.
I had probably thought about it far too much.
Then she asked me one question:
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE YOUR DAUGHTER?
And it was wild how quickly the fog lifted.
I knew exactly what I would tell her.
There was no overthinking.
No guilt.
No hesitation.
Just clarity.
It made me realize how often we can get so tangled up in our own fear, responsibility, expectations, or what-ifs that we lose access to the answer we would so easily give someone we love.
So if youāre waffling on something right now, try this:
What would you tell your daughter?
Your best friend?
Someone you love deeply?
Sometimes the answer gets a lot clearer when we stop asking from inside our own fear. š¤
