Welcome to On The Rise - a space for those navigating identity shifts, life transitions, and the often quiet realization that you’ve outgrown who you used to be. Let’s evolve with intention!

This week's newsletter is a 1-minute read (469 words).

Decision Filters

I have an unfortunate habit of overthinking everything. Maybe you can relate lol.

And it’s not just big decisions, it’s everything. Literally.

There have been so many times when I’ve found myself questioning

• what direction I should go in. 

• whether I’m making the “right” choice.

And if I’m being honest, most of the time my decision paralysis isn’t because I don’t know what to do. It’s because when you’ve spent so much time questioning yourself, learning to trust yourself again takes time and practice.

That’s where decision filters come in.

This cool tool saves my overthinking mind so much time…and anxiety.

And what decision filters do is give you a better way to make decisions.

Your filters are composed of some simple questions. And these questions aren’t generic or one-size-fits-all. They are personalized to you. So my filters and your filters won’t necessarily match.

Decision filters don’t always make decisions easier, but they do make them clearer. And as I say over and over, clarity changes everything.

Because when you’re clear, you don’t need to overanalyze every possible outcome. And let me tell you, that saves your brain soooo much energy.

Since decision filters are personal and hands-on, I’ve attached a worksheet at the bottom to help you with yours. This is the same worksheet I give to clients to help them move forward with clarity and intention.

So my challenge for you this week is to come up with some decision filters for yourself and see what happens when you run a decision through them.

This is what it means to be On The Rise.

I hope you evolve with intention this week!
