Decide to be Decisive: Making intuitive decisions from your Authority
One of the most powerful lessons I've learned (as a previously self-proclaimed indecisive person) is the practice of deciding to be decisive.
It might sound simple, but it was life-changing for me.
Because here's the truth: not deciding is still a decision. It's the decision to stay where you are. It's the decision to keep replaying the same stories. It's the decision to give your power to fear, to conditioning, to the opinions of others.
Indecision is not neutral. It drains your energy, it fractures your life force and it creates suffering. Sitting on the fence means you watch life go by “waiting for more clarity" when you aren't acting on what you do have. Your body and intuition is already communicating through little breadcrumbs, ideas, nudges - this is your clarity to follow and have certainty that there is something there for your highest good (even if you can't see it yet).
The moment you make a decision intuitively, even if it isn't “perfect,” even if you don't know the entire plan - your energy realigns and clarity begins to flow.Because it happens in the movement and when you fully commit! Because only then do you receive all the fruits and blessings of what's possible! Remember you can change and pivot, just don't half-heart anything important to you.
A Story for You
Andrea, one of the women in our Certification, had been working in corporate America. She was exhausted, unseen and deeply unfulfilled. Like many of us, she had stayed in indecision for far too long, waiting for the right time, waiting for clarity, waiting for permission.
Then, she chose to quit. And when I saw her in one of our last calls of the cohort, it was like she had become a different person. Her whole face and energy had transformed!! She was glowing, radiant, alive! I swear there is such a thing as a “I just quit the job I hate” glow!
Just days later, life responded to her decisiveness. At a yoga class, she bumped into an old high school friend. This said friend spoke about how she was struggling at work, in life, and didn't know what to do next. Over coffee, Andrea openly shared her journey, how she had walked away from burnout, leaned into her human design, and started creating something new. That single conversation turned into her very first client (!!)
This is the power of deciding. It opens doors that you cannot see while you're sitting on the fence.
Why There's No Such Thing as a Wrong Decision
So often, we hold ourselves back because we're terrified of making the wrong choice. But here's the truth: there is no wrong decision when you trust and follow your intuition.
Every decision moves you forward. Every decision gives you more information. Every decision shows you more clearly who you are and what you want.
Even when a choice brings challenge, discomfort or lessons you didn't expect - THAT experience is clarifying you. It is growing you. It is showing you what is aligned and what is not. It is opening new pathways through the Bridge of Events - all the "random" synchronicities, opportunities and people leading you to your manifestation when you start actively CO-CREATING with the Universe.
Your Intuition and Authority Are the Compass
This is where Human Design is such a gift - helping you to connect with your intuitive knowing so you can start creating your aligned path. We do not make decisions purely from our mind. The mind is full of conditioning, limiting beliefs, self doubt, overthinking and only knows what you have logically seen before. Whereas your intuition has infinite wisdom. It is tuned into an intelligence and your destiny that is beyond your five senses in a linear timeline. Your Authority (aka your intuition) is how you make big decisions that can alter your path in life.
The mind will always try to argue. It will say, “You don't know enough. You might get it wrong. You might lose something.” (BIGGEST ILLUSIONS!) But your authority speaks in a deeper language. It speaks through the body, through expansion, through the quiet pull toward curiosity and possibility.
What's your Authority?
Emotional: FEEL (not think) into the decision through your emotional wave over a few days. NB: This is not creating so much space that you talk yourself out of everything - you do need to make decisions based on what feels most expansive, nourishing and content. Wait to see what remains true across the highs and lows, then follow the expansion.
Sacral: Your gut gives a clear cut, spontaneous decision based on their excitement level. Yes or no or not right now. Notice where your body lights up with a yes or contracts with a no.
Spleen: An instant voice and inner resonance that speaks in the moment, that you often may not be able to make sense of. It's just a knowing or “ping”.
Ego (Heart): Making decisions that serves you, your desires, your movement and what your heart wants in this one precious life. Because your desires are divine!
Self Projected: Clarity comes through your voice & excitement level when speaking about it. Notice how you feel in your body as your chat it out (to yourself or to another). Journal, voice note, talk to trusted people - your body and energy (expansion vs dread) is telling you.
Mental: All about observing and making decisions that make “sense” to you. Clarity is gained by talking it out and seeing what lands & sticks around. Journal again!
Lunar (outer authority): Give yourself approximately 28 days (1 moon cycle) to make big decisions. Give yourself a cycle to taste, test and feel what sticks. You feel different every day. Whatever sticks around over that time, is correct for you. Make the decision then!
At its core, being decisive is about having trust and certainty. Trusting yourself and body. Having certainty that life is pulling you towards something for your highest good - even if you can't connect the dots ahead, you will be able to behind.
There's time for reflection and then there is time for action and creation. Every time you choose intuitively, you are showing life that you're ready. And life responds. Opportunities arise. People appear. The next breadcrumb falls into place. Your creative magnetic life force moves freely.
An Invitation:
Where in your life are you holding back right now? Where are you waiting for permission, for more clarity, for the guarantee that it will all work out?
What would happen if you trusted that there is no wrong intuitive decision? That every step you take, every yes or no you choose, is carrying you closer to your truth?
Let your body guide you. Let your authority lead. Let your intuition whisper the next step.
And then decide to be decisive.
Because when you do, you stop being on auto-pilot in your life and you step fully into being its creator.
Reflection for You:
1. What decision have you been postponing out of fear of getting it wrong? Fearing to commit often comes up here - remember it will grow and evolve with you!
2. Where are you not acting on the clarity you do have - what is the fear? Give that part of you so so much love.
3. How would it feel to trust that even if you can't see the outcome, the act of deciding will bring you closer to your true path?
I know this is scary, you are healing 7 generations forward and behind - it's big work and I see you! Please trust me when I say that you will never regret taking a chance on your desires!
