Have you ever made a snap decision without thinking twice?
Yet, when your head finally clears, you start to question yourself and have that, “OMG what did I just do?” moment.
I went through something similar not too long ago.
It haunted me for weeks.
I would lay in bed and think about it wishing I could turn back time.
It wasn’t life threatening, but a decision I made that changed my path.
I carried that ‘just punched in the stomach’ feeling for days.
But then after some time, everything seemed more clear.
I made that decision because I knew it needed to be made.
Through this experience, I realized that we need to follow our instincts and not look back.
We make decisions as women and mothers and sometimes they need to be made quickly.
If I would have waited, I would have second guessed myself.
I am glad I went with my gut and followed my heart.
Yes, it was hard and my course has changed, but don’t we have to make changes in order to grow?
I have no regrets.
Have you ever made a decision like this? One that you second guessed yourself, but realized in the end it was the best decision you made?

Jess you are such an inspiration to me! You have so much to be proud of
Too many times to count. As a mom to a bipolar and recently making the decision to remove my mom from breathing assistance knowing it would result in her demise tore my heart out.

Oh no, I am so very sorry
All the time. But I try to make peace with the fact that the decision came from me and that I made it in the moment for a reason. And if it wasn’t the right one, I’ll just have to think of a way to fix it in the future.
Best of luck and I’m glad you followed your instincts, Tina!

Yes I’m the same way. I’m trying to go with my gut more and not look back. Not always easy but I’m trying!
Wise words, Tina. Focusing on what’s already done just breeds anxiety. You are a smart woman to go boldly forward!

Thanks Missy!
Yup I am still second guessing myself but there is no backing out and it is the best thing I could do with regards to the decision I had to make.
I’m with you!
I am the most indecisive person you’ll ever meet.
It takes me forever to make a decision. It drives my family and friends batty.
I can’t even think off the top of my head of a decision that I didn’t think and overthink and think some more about.
I’m so not spontaneous as you can tell.

Me too!! I swear I drive my hubby crazy with how indecisive I am! And then I dwell on things, ugh. But I’m trying to get better at this!
Yes, when I made the decision to quit work and become a SAHM to our almost 10 & 8 year old girls. Working was what I knew. I took a huge jump and a major income cut. It was so worth it. It has made a huge difference in our family life but I was so scared after making the decision for even weeks after.

Good for you!
Yes. What’s even worse is the gut churning for NOT making a decision….I’ve been there, too! I’m glad to hear your decision worked out for you!
