ways to be confident in making big decisions

I've had a lot of feedback from friends, family and clients on my ability to make big decisions with confidence. So I wanted to share the wealth.

Here’s a set of three practical, at-home tools my clients can use to build confidence when facing big decisions.

You can book a FREE 15 min call with me today to talk about booking a confident 'Booster Session' to discuss this further.

“Future Self” Letter

Write a short letter from the perspective of your future self (6 months, 1 year, or 5 years from now). Imagine you’ve already made the decision and are thriving because of it. This practice helps clients tap into intuition, see beyond immediate fears, and anchor their choices in long-term vision.

Decision Journaling

Keep a decision log. For each major choice, write down:

The options on the table
What feels exciting vs. draining
Potential risks and benefits
A gut instinct rating (1–10)
Reviewing past entries shows patterns in how they make decisions and builds evidence that they can trust themselves.

The “Worst, Best, Most Likely”

List out the worst-case scenario, the best-case scenario, and the most likely outcome. This helps shrink fear by getting it out of their head and onto paper—and usually, the “worst” is less catastrophic than they imagined.

Trusting my gut again

"I used to go in circles with every decision, overanalysing until I felt stuck. The Body Compass Check helped me reconnect with my gut instincts. Now I actually trust the signals my body gives me—and making choices feels so much lighter." – Sarah M.
