Jessie’s World - Episode 19, Decisions Decisions
Intro
Welcome to Jessie’s World podcast episode 19 - and as we round the corner to episode 20 we have come to the dreaded judgment day my friends - yes I mean we are about to hold a mirror up and discuss … DECISIONS DECISIONS.
But you know it’s all for a great cause, because each week we get together and work on becoming our best selves.
If you are upwardly mobile, have a great sense of humor, and want to become your best YOU than you have home to the right place.
Before we get into today’s topic - it’s Tessy Time
Tessy Time
Housing Crisis is real, and as a Real Estate Broker and HUMAN living in Canada I feel I need to speak on it. These are my thoughts, not researched facts, but my personal assessment you know, using CRITICAL THINKING.
Mrs Write - RANDOM (what two celebrities would I want to have dinner and lunch with - I chose D-Ray Davis (the comedian) as my lunch date and TI (Tip) Harris as my dinner date - and then I got greedie and invited Buju Banton for desert :).
Topic - Decisions Decisions
Today we are going to discuss the Importance of good decision making in personal and professional life.
Let’s be real, if we are working on becoming our best selves, it’s because we know we have work to do.
In the past several weeks we have discussed changing our habits, changing our energy, improving our team, believing in ourselves and more.
NOW we need to discuss DECISIONS.
There is an angel and a devil on everyone’s shoulder - or a higher frequency and a lower frequency and at different times you may feel strong and dwell in your higher frequency and that is what we are encouraging you to do more of. But you may feel weak one day and slip into your lower frequency - the home of big bad decisions.
Now, I don’t know you, so I don’t know your version of a bad decision - but if it brings you further from your goals or makes you feel bad about yourself, then its probably the wrong decision for you.
The first goal when working on improving your quality of life is to acknowledge the bad decisions that have hurt you or disrupted your world in the past and STOP repeating them.
So - how do you avoid repeating mistakes or making new bad decisions - I am about to give you the antidote.
AVOIDING BAD DECISIONS
Take stock of the ‘bad’ decisions that are hurting you that you want to change - literally write them down so you are very clear
Consider the conditions in which you tend to make those decisions - and start to avoid those conditions - for example, I want to stop eating donuts, I tend to buy donuts when I hang out with my friends at the donut shop - ANTIDOTE find a new place to hang out with your friends.
Forgive yourself if you mess up, instead of punishing yourself or feeling bad, take it as an opportunity to consider why you made a decision you vowed you would not, what lead you down that path and how can you avoid it in the future.
Create opportunities to do other things instead
Celebrate your successes
How to make good decisions
Play it to the end - sometimes we opt for instant gratification of old things that feel familiar but if you stop and think and play it to the end you can realize before you make a mistake that it is a bad idea
Consider the consequences - does the risk outway the reward
Do what’s best for you - who are you doing this for, if you act with your best interest at heart you are bout to make the right decisions
Lead with integrity - if you have a strong knowledge of your own values, morals, and boundaries and make decisions from that place within you are likely going to feel really good about most of the decisions you make.
Admit when you are wrong - to someone other than yourself - and hold yourself accountable
Aim for progress not perfection

As an entrepreneur it could feel difficult to know how to make better business decisions - here are some things that have helped me:
Connect with a mentor in your field
Build friendships with people who are at your level and growing in same industry
Build relationships with students and up and comers who have a fresh perspective on your industry
Read trade magazines, books, articles, and research papers
Take courses
Be willing to make mistakes
Learn from your mistakes
Create systems and processes that streamline your work
And Update those systems to align with new knowledge as it arises
Gods N Goddesses
BREATHE IN BREATH OUT….Meditation around good decision making
Acknowledge and Forgive past bad decisions
Commit to making better decisions
AFFIRMATION - “Today I know I am not perfect, I have made decisions in the past that have not served me and that did not do me justice. I realize at the time I did the best with what I had. I forgive myself. I love myself. I know that it is human to make mistakes. I am proud that I am willing to learn and grow from my mistakes. I commit to myself to stop and think when making choices. I commit to play decisions through to the end in my head before acting. I know that by thinking before I act, I can avoid making bad decisions that can hurt me in the long run. I know I am capable of making the right decisions for me. I will turn off all other voices and truly consider what is right for me. I have morals and values - and I know that it is important to make my decisions from a place of integrity. I will allow my higher stronger more intelligent self to drive my bus, My lowerself is officially fired and can get off at the next stop. I am making better choices for me. I’ve got this.”
QUOTE
“One single choice can have the power to transport you to hell on earth, or to the hightest joys of life. One choice can change everything. Yet no one is focused on teaching good decision making skills. That is a real HUMAN RIGHTS and DEVELOPMENT issue. That’s a societal mistake we all need to help correct..” Jessica Lambert.
