The weekend that broke my brain
When trying to “switch off” becomes a full-time job
There was a time I genuinely believed this:
If I thought through every possible outcome… I’d avoid a disaster.
At work, that made sense; working as a veterinary surgeon, animals’ lives were on the line. Missing something didn’t feel like an option.
But that same logic crept into everything. Including my weekends.
Planning “a relaxing Saturday” turned into mental gymnastics:
Book the 12pm lunch? But then I miss yoga.
Do yoga first? But what if I’m too tired to enjoy lunch?
What if I skip yoga? But then I’ve wasted £12… unless I sleep badly and wish I hadn’t skipped it? eurgh 😭
I used to spend so much time calculating the “best” option…
I didn’t notice how much joy it was stealing.
Here’s the belief I’ve had to unlearn:
“If I make the right decision, I’ll get to relax.”
Because ironically, that need to make the perfect choice is what made me need a break in the first place 🙈
When I learned to let go, to trust myself to make a decision and deal with what comes, life got easier.
I relaxed even when things weren’t perfect.
And they got more fun tbh 😅
That’s what I want for you too.

PS. Thinking “But if I don’t plan everything perfectly, I won’t enjoy it either…” - we’ll chat about that next time 😉
PPS. When you join Becoming Decisive, you also unlock instant access to all past mini-programmes from the MOMENTUM library (soon to be called The Library).
Because often, it’s not just about the decision.
If your overthinking comes from not feeling good enough —> dive deeper in Untangling Imposter Syndrome.
If you plan everything perfectly —> try Reducing Perfectionism.
If work stress is clouding every choice —> go straight to Enjoying work even when it’s stressful.
There’s no pressure to do it all. Becoming Decisive is designed as a self-contained course. But if you’re the person who wants to learn everything about a subject… there’s more too.
Join before 7th July to lock in the £7.50 / month price long-term, or opt for a whole 12-months access for £50/year and take your time.
This was (and sometimes still is!) so me!
