How have you developed or improved your decision-making skills?

I recently had the incredible opportunity to share a glimpse of my artistic journey with the wonderful magazine, Bold Journey. And one of the questions was: How have you developed or improved your decision-making skills?

I answered this: “This is truly a challenging and intricate question, and I appreciate you bringing it up. I see decision-making as a daily practice that requires mindfulness, as it can often be anything but straightforward. For me, like any life skill, I cultivate my decision-making abilities through a process of trial, learning, unlearning and repeating. Most importantly, it’s also about staying connected to my core values, purpose, integrity and tuning into how they resonate within me. I take time to slow down, breathe, stop in silence with the questions that I want to make a decision, explore alternatives and then, I check with my whole body. I love listening to my body, and I always trust my intuition. Always, with love, empathy and compassion, I try to be honest with my decisions. After that, I learn from each of my decisions, the good ones and the bad ones; it’s an important part of my journey and personal growth. And like my favourite author Maya Angelou said: You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”
