Has this ever happened to you?
You get into work, log into your email, scheduling meetings, make thoughtful decisions about your projects, answer questions, schedule follow-up meetings...
Go to lunch, respond to emails from your kids school, respond to long-winded texts from your parents, schedule a doctor's appointment, then back to work to more meetings and emails...
And when you come home, someone has the nerve to ask "What's for dinner?"
You feel like yelling at them and saying "WTF??? You pick! Why do I always have to decide?" because it's exhausting to make yet another decision at the end of a long day?
Yeah... that's happened to us way more times than we want to admit.
If you're feeling short-tempered at the end of the day and annoyed at simple questions, you're likely suffering from decision fatigue.
You're irritable with your loved ones. You're not eating healthy. You're scrolling social media before bed.
That doesn't make you feel good about yourself, but it's also really hard to change these habits because people rely on you to get shit done and you're pretty awesome at it!
What if we told you that it's possible to feel more in control and fulfilled in your life without decision fatigue. Here are some tools to shift your perspective...
The book Slow Productivity by Cal Newport not only gave me tips on how to say yes to things that light me up and no to things that drained me, it also gave me deeper understanding about why I kept slipping back into burnout mode.
This documentary came out in 2016 and 9 years later, it couldn't be more relevant.
This film highlights that we have been conditioned to chase the "American Dream" by wanting and needing more stuff to make us happy. But it's having the opposite effect.
Personally, I don't really want to live in a tiny house or live out of a suitcase but I have felt the freedom of letting go of stuff and intentionally not renting a storage unit.
From a decision fatigue perspective... less stuff = less decisions.
If you want to feel more balanced and fulfilled over a long weekend... ming+ming retreat is what you need.
It's a mental, physical, and emotional reset so you feel rejuvinated.
Chef-prepared meals, restorative yoga, lounging by the pool, guidance from your spirit guides, and sitting in the hot tub gazing at the stars.
Minimal decision-making. Massive clarity-receiving.
Only a few rooms left! Book a private room or a bed in the communal room.
