Tiny decisions change your life podcast1/12/2024 When you make a decision in your life, it moves you forward. I think the exact same thing is happening to many of us as it applies to the decisions that we’re making. And it can take a complete mind shift to get us out of it. And then we have to start paying the credit card instead of paying cash for things.” And I’ve watched so many people rely on their primitive brain for that instant gratification and that instant reward, and that gets us into that consumer debt. So you are creating a debt that perpetuates the belief that caused the debt, which was, “I can’t afford to pay cash for this, so I will put it on my credit card. So, if you think about using credit cards and you go out and buy clothes that you don’t have the cash to pay for, you have now created an obligation to your income that makes you less likely to afford the dress in the future, or the pants or the clothes or the shoes, or whatever. I know that debt that’s created from buying things we can’t afford perpetuates us not being able to afford something. So, I like to use the metaphor of financial debt, consumer debt, as we explore this concept of decision debt, because I think they can be very similar in our lives. Now, of course, debt is neutral and it’s the way that we think about debt that is going to determine that. We can feel the emotion of obligation when we have debt. It can create this idea that we are indebted to someone. It’s kind of like this to-do in the back of our mind. So if you think about debt being defined as something that is owed, you owe someone something, and if you think about that conceptually, that is energy-drain for most of us, when we owe someone. And I think it just wears us out and zaps our energy unnecessarily, much in the same way that consumer debt can do that. And I watch this happen in so many of my clients and my students. And I’ve also been reading a lot about money because, as most of you know, I love money.Īnd I was reading about debt, good debt versus bad debt, that sort of thing, and I had this kind of epiphany that so many of us end up with decision debt. Most of you know that I am obsessed with utilizing our brain for decisions ahead of time and how that really changes the quality of our lives. And it came from studying about decision-making. So, two big ideas have a little idea and the idea baby. But basically, what happens is I read something over here and then I read something over there, and then I put the two concepts together and we have an idea baby, is what we’re calling it. And if you don’t know about super thinking, you have to go back a couple of podcast episodes and listen to that episode. This concept came to me through one of my super thinking sessions. I’m pretty excited to talk to you about a concept today called decision debt. And now your host, Master Coach Instructor, Brooke Castillo.

Join me this week as we explore the reasons why we leave decisions unmade and how it zaps the energy from our brain and keeps us stuck. Also, in my recent research on the topic of money, I’ve been reading about the different types of debt.Ĭombining these two ideas – consumer debt and not making decisions – I had an epiphany that when we prolong decisions or procrastinate, we end up with a bunch of unmade decisions hanging over us that are nagging at us in the back of our mind. Most of you know that I am obsessed with utilizing our brain for making decisions ahead of time thus changing the quality of our lives. So today, I’d like to share with you a concept that is one such “idea baby.” If you listened to my previous episode on Superthinking, you know that I am a fan of combining two different ideas from completely different areas of life or business.
