In my moments of extreme isolation, I made the connection between self confidence and action (which typically has to start with action before the self-confidence). You really captured this idea soo well in your piece. The connection between the relationship with self and decisiveness felt like a lightbulb moment.
Even knowing this, I know I get pulled back into the ocean of outsourcing my decisions but I loved what you said, "The thing about outsourcing decisions is that even when they do work out, we can’t really take full “credit” for the outcome, because it wasn’t really us who made the decision." A decision, good or bad, made in integrity with ourself is so much powerful than any decision we outsource.
When you make decisions based on the opinions of other people — then it's very easy to blame them when it "doesn't work out". Instead own your decisions, and take accountability for the consequences. And you will be a lot happier for it :)
This is great, you've put it so well how to develop and nurture self trust.
For me, my indecision came more from being unsure what the source of decision making is. Took me a while to realize I had this inner knowing and an intuition I could rely on.
"I’ve been called “deep” for as long as I can remember. You’re always trying to put the pieces together, people would tell me. It’s true. I especially wanted to put my pieces together. I was desperate to develop a sense of self—to know who I was, what I stood for, who I was becoming." I can relate so freaking much to this!! Thank you sharing. My name is Isabella btw.
You articulated so beautifully what I have always felt about my 20s but couldn't put into words! Thank you 🙏

self-trust breeds integrity to the self. yes!

Thank you for reminding i wasn't born indecisive. That I grew upto be one. Feel like I needed to hear that
Can relate to this a lot. For so long I identified with indecisiveness and I never trusted myself enough to know
