You’re done! Kind of. What if you have made a Big Life Decision, but later you want things in your life to be different? That would make you NORMAL. As you grow and your life changes, your criteria will probably change. We want you to plan to evolve along with your life and be ready to continue to tell yourself the truth about what you want and need.

Reflecting and learning - and letting it be ok that you get to change - will help! In this episode we tell stories about our own many changes in work, attitudes, and lives, and share ways of thinking to help you be ready for change yourself. Get your “it’s not over until I say it is - I can change if I need to!” attitude on.

When we’re about to make a decision, it can feel high stakes. How do you REALLY know what direction to take - and what if you want to change later? What if your “knowing” or “deciding” buttons are frayed from trauma or operating in survival mode?

In our last few episodes we’ve talked about how to reduce the risk of getting it wrong with criteria and prototyping, so today we talk about how to use that information, how to know you know, and what it means to give yourself permission to try a new thing. It’s your nice life to go after, after all. And, of course, almost no decision in life is your final one.

Even when you have a sense of what you want, it’s reasonable that gathering other kinds of information can be wise, before committing to a specific direction. Pilots and prototypes are kinds of experiments that help you try on or try out a way of living before you fully commit, and are excellent ways to learn things in your body that you can’t learn from imagination or research. We love them!

In this episode of Have a Nice Live, Pippi and Hadassah tell stories of our own and some clients’ prototyping that gave us such important information. You’ll learn how to think about these experiments, and how to make sure you learn from them.
