@jade2026 June 29 is coming up soon. While entering into treatment is frightening there is also some solace in it (at least that was the case for me). I was actively working with my doctors and other providers. I wasn’t standing still.

I read the following recently in “Mindful Body” by Ellen Langer about decision-making. This really resonated with me.

I often second-guess myself and wonder if I made the right decision. Langer says this (I am paraphrasing)

We never have all the “necessary” information and tend to over-analyze. (That’s me in a nutshell). Then we experience decision paralysis. So her advice is that when you make the decision “commit to the outcome”. We can actively look for how our choice can work to our advantage and then grow with it. Langer writes “Instead stressing over the right decision you can make the decision right”. Since you often do not know if the unchosen path would have been better you can make your decision “right” for you.

I’m not sure I totally captured this concept. I do find it works for me. What do you think?
