Redirecting Chaos: Tips for Impulsive Decision-Making
As a mother of 4 by the time I was 21 I had the concept of learning trial by fire down to an art. In fact, it’s a toxic terrible habit and through the years I have learned that I have lived in so much chaos it is where I find comfort because I’ve known challenge more than peace. The toxic part being I will self-sabotage my own peace. What a terrible habit to do to oneself.
Here are some ways I’ve tried to redirect this terrible toxic trait.
Before I do anything to drastic or pull the trigger on a new idea, I sit with it at least overnight if not longer. As a youth I was very impulsive and would do whatever and face the consequences later.
I talk to my spouse or a trusted companion. By talking it out I can hear some outside input and move through the pros and cons
I don’t talk to more than two people about my idea. This makes me be thoughtful in who I do speak to while also protecting myself from negative energy, gossip, and thoughts.
