We make between 33,000 and 35,000 decisions every single day. And our entire life is compounded by those thousands of decisions. The question is: are you making them for you, or are you making them out of fear, FOMO, politeness, or the need to avoid disappointing someone?


In this episode I'm talking about getting behind your yeses and your nos, the difference between making decisions from a place of clarity vs. lack, and why I said no to a concert invite with friends-of-friends even though past-me would have said yes out of FOMO or politeness. This is about owning your choices without guilt, shame, or the afterthought spiral.


Key Takeaways:

  • We make 33,000–35,000 decisions every single day
  • Our entire life is compounded by those thousands of decisions
  • Are you making decisions from clarity or from fear, lack, FOMO, or politeness?
  • The concert invite I said no to (and why past-me would have said yes)
  • JOMO > FOMO: joy of missing out
  • The 0.5 second check-in before you say yes or no: who am I making this decision for?
  • Your life experience is a physical manifestation of all the choices you're making
