You may feel inundated with choices today as you go about your usual affairs. Though you might once have imagined that more choices would equal greater liberty, it is likely that your response to the barrage of options before you will be one of confusion and unease. To sort through each of your alternatives without losing your cool, take a moment to analyze each on its own merits. Some of your choices will no doubt appeal to you immediately, while others may repulse you just as quickly. You will likely find today that making decisions is easy when you approach them in this manner, as you can eliminate the least appealing choices before beginning your deliberations.

When the overbearing weight of too many possibilities leaves us unable to make a decision, we can overcome our indecision by first making an effort to cast aside those alternatives that will not bring us satisfaction. We may be tempted by the choice before us to give every option equal consideration even though some are not particularly conducive to our purpose. However, we should never feel obligated to consider avenues of action that are inconsistent with our goals or values. As we sort through potential choices, fixing our attention on only those alternatives that we feel particularly drawn to will help us narrow the range of possibilities so that we feel less pressure to weed through multiple options. Your usual decisiveness will return today when you disregard those choices that do not fulfill your purpose.
