This episode is a special CHALLENGE EPISODE, where we dig deeper into the very challenging challenge of decision making. Elena reached out to us with some very big questions related to her life and we've done our best in guiding her on how to make sure that she makes the best possible decision for her!

Challenge Description:

Hello girls, I have been in Denmark for almost 5 years, and now, finishing my bachelor, I need to think what to do further. It’s been a quite rough and thoughtful period. So, the challenge I have is that I don’t know if I want to stay in Denmark, move back home, to Romania, or try another country. Also, I would like to continue my education with a master degree, but it is difficult to get into one, here in Denmark, because I am lacking some courses. And therefore, I don’t know if I should keep fighting to get into a master, here or somewhere else, or if I should just look for a job and hope that I find one. 

Let me know what you think, this would be interesting.  Have a great day!

The 5 Options 

Marta has shared that she's a Recovering Decision Making Struggler and she shares the 5 pearls of wisdom that have helped her in making decisions:

Wisdom 1: Ultimately there IS no wrong decision (though definitely a decision can FEEL wrong)

Wisdom 2: Chances are that you already know the answer, you just need to get quiet enough to be able to hear it

Wisdom 3: Manage your mind before your mind manages you (your mind is not always the best advisor as it can be steered by fears and doubts)

Wisdom 4: Your body can't lie to you (feel into your decision)

I find two ways really interesting for practising feeling into what is the right choice for me right now.

One is expanding vs contracting
