So I woke up this morning and decided to really lean into my Virgo horoscope for the day. The main theme was all about making the best decisions, which honestly, is something I struggle with. I tend to overthink everything.
My Morning Routine
First thing, I made my coffee, sat down at my desk, and actually read the horoscope carefully instead of just skimming it. It talked about taking a step back and not rushing. My usual move is to just pick the first option that seems okay and stress about it later. But today, I committed to doing it differently.
The Big Decision Practice
I had a real-life test today. I needed to choose between two different project approaches for a client. Normally, I’d just go with my gut and hope for the best.
Here’s what I did instead, step by step:
- I wrote everything down. I got two pieces of paper and put one option at the top of each. No typing, just pen and paper. It felt more deliberate.
- I listed three pros and three cons for each option. Not a huge list, just the big ones. Forcing myself to find three cons for my favorite option was tough but really eye-opening.
- I walked away for an hour. I literally set a timer and went to fold laundry. This was the hardest part because my brain wanted to keep chewing on it.
- I came back and looked at my lists again. After the break, one of the cons on my preferred option seemed way bigger than it did before. It was like my brain had a chance to process it without me forcing it.
How It Turned Out
I ended up picking the option that wasn’t my initial favorite. It just felt more solid after that whole process. I sent the email to the client and felt… calm. That’s rare for me. Usually, I’d be second-guessing myself immediately.
The horoscope was right. The “best” decision wasn’t about finding a magic perfect answer. It was about slowing down my process so I could see the choices more clearly. It wasn’t some huge, life-changing event, but it made my Thursday a whole lot less stressful. I’m gonna try to use this method more often, especially for the smaller daily decisions that usually pile up and cause anxiety.
