Last month I actually celebrated quitting! I don’t mean to say that I celebrate the act of quitting, however, I do annually celebrate when I worked up enough strength to quit smoking! In 2015, I was shocked into the reality of the frailty of life when I was told that my best friend had passed away suddenly! The loss was gut wrenching and is still impactful and felt to this day, more than ten years later! As I mourned and reflected on our friendship, I decided that I was going to remove habits that were the most detrimental to my health! Smoking was the top of the list! I cannot even describe accurately how hard it was to quit! But one of the methods I used to help me stay a non-smoker for the first year was a method I don’t think anyone else has ever used before! Has anyone else tried quitting smoking before and succeeded? What was the most effective method you used to help you quit and remain a non-smoker? My method was buying term life insurance for $200,000 coverage! Feel free to drop comments on any methods that worked or didn’t work for you! And if you would like help quitting smoking, let’s chat and figure out some steps that get you heading in the right direction! Have a fantastic day!

Analysis paralysis is when a person becomes so overwhelmed by too many choices, details, or possible outcomes that they can’t make a decision at all. Instead of moving forward, they stay stuck in endless thinking and over-analyzing. Why It Matters - Time gets wasted on thinking instead of doing. - Opportunities pass by while waiting for the “perfect” answer. - Stress and frustration build up, lowering confidence. Three Actionable Solutions 1. The “Good Enough” Rule Instead of waiting for the perfect solution, act on the first option that meets at least 70–80% of your needs. I like this approach because it gives you a better chance at taking real action and helps to break the cycle of waiting for perfection and builds momentum. 2. Decision by Elimination Cross off the options that don’t align with your goals or values. Keep cutting until only a few remain. This approach helps to simplify complex choices and reduces mental clutter. 3. Small Test First Instead of committing to a big decision right away, run a quick trial or mini-experiment. The benefit here is that you receive real-world feedback, reduces fear, and builds confidence in choosing. Let the real work begin!

Have you ever been stuck or at a standstill because you don’t know what to do or you can’t make a decision? It can be really hard to make a decision and get unstuck if you don’t know of a proven way to get unstuck! Several things to consider are; what are you stuck on? Does it have anything to do with your career? Your education? Finding and learning a new skill? Finding employment or writing a book? Oftentimes the answer may feel just out of reach and writing out your thoughts on what you’re feeling stuck on can help start the process of finding a solution and more importantly, it can lead to identifying the steps and direction you can take in order to get unstuck and on your way to your goal! So if you have a general or even specific idea of what you are struggling with or stuck on, please respond to this post and we can begin hashing out a plan towards taking meaningful action! Let the work begin!
