Getting to Good Enough - A podcast by Getting to Good Enough

Categories:

In Episode 161, Janine and Shannon discussed some of the principles surrounding navigating competing priorities. In this follow-up episode we talk about some specific ways to choose between competing priorities. Discussion topics include: • Janine's "pull my finger method" of deciding between competing options (also known as muscle testing) • How anticipating a response to muscle testing or flipping a coin--as well as how you feel when you get the result--can be revealing • Tapping your unconscious mind to make decisions • Understanding your internal yes and no signals • Janine's enthusiasm for Shannon's downloadable product, "Boring Change," which can help harness your unconscious knowledge (consciously or unconsciously) • What our conscious vs unconscious mind can (or cannot) hold on to (spoiler alert: our unconscious mind might be more powerful than a supercomputer!) • Writing things down in order to get clarity Shannon's journaling cue: "What's important for me to do next?" • Getting out of the headspace of "shoulds" and other people's expectations and into the headspace of what's important to you • How consequences of saying no are often less dire than you expect • Getting in touch with your why and core values to guide how you spend your time and energy • Paying attention to those times when you're trying to talk yourself into a decision • The good old pro and con list • Recognizing that there isn't a perfect choice Visit the show notes at www.gettingtogoodenough.com for lots of links!
