This episode was recorded live on IGTV (Instagram). Here’s what was mentioned:
Why does deciding what’s for dinner suck so bad?
- Because we’re waiting until we’re already totally stressed out to make the decision.
- Because we’ve convinced ourselves there is a RIGHT decision
“Don’t worry about making the right decision, make the decision right.” Susie Moore
Let’s overcome the belief that there is a wrong decision to be made.
You make great choices. Get confident in the choices you have made.
Don’t wait until the last minute to decide what’s for dinner.
Set aside one night per week when you always plan your dinners.
Make your grocery list and get everything you’ll need for the week the next day.
