Ask yourself: Does this choice empower me or disempower me? It’s really that simple.
If you move toward the decision that feels most empowering, you cannot go wrong. Your body will feel a sense of ease and a release of tension as you follow the most empowering choice. It will also appear as the most natural thing to do; the one that’s most self-honoring.
It’s important not to overthink your decision. Just make it and move on. Yes, your thoughts about it may change over time as you receive more information, but you will always be able to continue asking yourself: Does this empower me or disempower me… now?
As we evolve and gain new insight and have new experiences, our ideas will inevitably change. So the key is to always have a guide map, an inner compass to reflect back on when you get stuck. This simple question is just one way to weed out what doesn’t serve you and what does.
