This chapter explores the fear of making choices and the consequences of not making a decision. It discusses the impact of not choosing anything and choosing multiple things simultaneously, highlighting the importance of examining how this fear manifests in different areas of life.
How do we choose what to focus on?
We can get caught up in indecision and overthinking things, and decision-making can be really difficult.
In this season, Leo asks you to play along and focus on a project where you'll work with fear and resistance. But how do you choose a project?
We'll take a look not only at how to choose a project, but how to choose anything. And how choosing from the heart (or gut) can be a powerful thing.
