Stop being "Mr. Yes, But...", overanalyzing to the point of paralytic indecision and missed opportunities, and yield to my initial emotions and instincts, which often are right all along.

Start a Dithering Log. Record all instances of avoidance or vacillation. Make brief notes about the mind/gut conflict and note the time it takes to arrive at a decision or not.

Note any cognitive distortions impacting the ability to decide.

I was about to make a job offer out of expediency to someone I was lukewarm about. My own boss asked me to wait a day to sort out my gut feelings. We had the same reservations and it was a no-go.

granted, i’m not facing any major life-altering decisions right now, either, but at least in day-to-day life, i think i’m taking things as they come a lot better than i used to. for this reason, i’m going to declare this one “done.”

Wow, this describes me PERFECTLY! I, as a libran, am prone to the condition called “indecisionitis”...problem with that is the intellectual überanalyzation of everything where I end up making the choice which I THINK will make me the happiest, usually when choosing between two foods where I choose one that is new, when in fact it’s always the initial impulse of my favorite that I should select instead.

Well…for me it would be ‘Ms. Yes, but’ I am paralyzed about trying to make any decisions whatsoever…about food choices, how I will spend my afternoon, whether or not to tell people how I feel, etc…

I’m dragging my heels on a romance that seems to be transpiring like spontaneous combustion. I’m into her, and go out of my way to see her. Our encounters end with hugs and sometimes, kisses. We haven’t even gone out yet! Um, this is happening at work.

All I have to do is proceed, but instead I’m googling her and seeking vague advice, looking for red flags, and waiting to be nudged.
