Never do things you do not want to do. If you feel it even SLIGHTLY going against your real intention, do not do it. This will create a nice habit of following your real intentions, naturally, that will snowball into you, naturally, making big decisions. When comparing it to the person you were before acquiring the habit, you will be super impressed by what you just did. And you will not feel is hard to do as this kind of thing, following your real intentions, have become habitual for you. So this is all win-win. it is win-win all over this page.
So, the next time you are about to do something that you do habitually but in reality do not WANT to do - but you have been doing it anyway, simply because you have never questioned whether you should or not - choose not to do it. And, if there is something that you normally would not do it - not meaning it is super scary or anything, but that you have just not done this particular thing in the past - do it.
How you know if you want to do something - and now I am not talking about whether something is smart to do, or whatever, but if you at your core WANT to do it - feel your gut. What is your gut telling you to do at this very moment? Let your gut be your compass. If you find this primitive, let me just tell you... Warren Buffett uses his gut sense to make all his decisions. If you still need arguments-, things to say to yourself and remember to understand it is an intelligent thing to do to go by gut feeling, start seeing it as "evolution taking to you". I believe it is that way, actually - that your gut feeling is evolution telling you what would be an intelligent thing to do in a situation.
Going by gut sense is not what is scary here - going against it is what is scary. Even if the gut sense tells you to do something scary - it is not scary to follow it, as it is completely natural. I understand if this sounds hard to believe - but try it out for yourself, and you will see. When you follow your real intention, in this way, you feel you are being true to yourself. This is a deep feeling that will overshadow any self doubt -- actually, when you follow your real intention, you can feel no self doubt as you are tuning into your real self. Your body and mind will start working properly, however nervous or stressed you were before going by your gut sense - because you align with your real intention, and thus calm down.
