147. Second Guessing Ourselves and Decision Hangover
About this Podcast
Ep. 147 –
Have you second-guessed a decision you made earlier today or earlier this week?
If you’ve ever been in a situation where you made a decision or chose to do or not do something… it is likely that you have found yourself ruminating over whether or not you made the right choice.
For many of my clients, this kind of second-guessing can lead to feelings of overwhelm or turn into hours of unproductive and distracted work.
If you experience this somewhat regularly or are well aware of what ‘decision hangover’ feels like, then it’s important to recognize the signs so that you can take steps to address it and move forward with confidence.
In this episode of the Manager Track podcast, I am going to share three tips that will help you overcome self-doubt, mitigate decision hangovers, and avoid falling victim to your own mind.
