A space to see before deciding

Direction quotes

April.

A new month
doesn’t change anything.

Your decisions do.

No reset.
No fresh start.

Just what you choose
to keep
and what you don’t.

100 Decisions That Changed My Life
Day 6

The decision to rebuild
from the inside.

Three years ago
everything fell.

I kept trying
to make it work.

More work.
More ideas.
More doing.

But it wasn’t outside.

What fell
was a life
that didn’t match me.

I was trying
to fix everything around me
without looking at myself.

So I stopped.

I chose three things.

Nurture.
Grounding.
Start simple.

I lived by that.

Body first.
Clear limits.

If it didn’t feel right,
it didn’t stay.

That was the sixth decision.

100 Decisions That Changed My Life

Day 5

The decision to stop giving without exchange.

My time.
My attention.
My energy.
My direction.

Conversations
I had to carry.

Ideas
no one continued.

Spaces
that only worked
when I stepped in.

When I stopped,
they kept asking.

More presence.
More answers.
More direction.

That’s when I saw it.

Like exhaling
without inhaling.

It empties.

Where the exchange is real,
energy returns.

That was the fifth decision.

100 Decisions That Changed My Life

Day 4

The decision to stop giving my energy
where it wasn’t seen.

Time.
Attention.
Energy.

For a long time
I believed giving more
would change something.

I saw it in conversations
that kept going nowhere.

But energy does not expand
in a closed space.

You start explaining.
Answering.
Repeating yourself.

Where it is seen
none of that is necessary.

No defense.
No pressure.
No effort.

When I saw that
I stopped giving my energy
where it wasn’t seen.

Silence returned.
Time returned.
Energy returned.

That was the fourth decision.

100 Decisions That Changed My Life
Day 3

The decision to stop explaining myself.

For a long time
I believed every decision
needed a justification.

If I changed my mind
I explained why.

If I said no
I explained the reason.

If something didn’t feel right
I tried to make it understandable.

I thought clarity meant
making others understand.

But the more I explained
nothing changed.

Most explanations
aren’t about clarity.

They come from the desire
to be understood.

And when that desire isn’t met
both sides explain more.

Defend more.

Nothing moves forward.

Now I don’t explain
when I stay home.

I don’t explain
when I say no.

I don’t explain
when I change direction.

When communication is real
very little needs explanation.

When it isn’t
no explanation will fix it.

Silence was enough.

I stopped explaining.

That was the third decision.

Most people wait for one decision
that will change their life.

A moment so clear
it changes everything at once.

That moment rarely comes.

A life changes somewhere quieter.

In the decisions you repeat every day.
What you accept.
What you tolerate.
What you return to.

Over time, repetition becomes direction.

And eventually, it becomes a life.

Full reflection on the blog.

100 Decisions That Changed My Life
Day 2

The decision to allow myself to receive.

For most of my life, I was used to giving.

Giving ideas.
Giving solutions.
Giving energy.
Giving money.

Receiving always came with a condition.
If someone gave something,
I felt the need to give something back.

To balance it.
To justify it.
To earn it.

It took me a long time to notice something simple.

I didn’t only give too much.
I didn’t know how to receive.

Small things were easy to accept.
But when something felt generous or valuable, something in me resisted.

Then something simple happened.
Someone offered me a pair of ballet flats
I had been admiring for a long time.

My first instinct appeared immediately.
It’s too much.
You shouldn’t accept this.

For a moment I almost said no.

Then another thought.
Why is it so easy for me to give,
but so difficult to receive?

Survival mode doesn’t only make you work harder.
Sometimes it convinces you
that you shouldn’t receive beauty, care, or generosity.

That day, I accepted the gift.

Allowing myself to receive
was the second decision.

100 Decisions That Changed My Life

Day 1
The decision to leave survival mode.

I knew I was there.
But knowing is not the same as deciding to leave.

Survival mode isn’t always visible from the outside.
You can look functional. Even successful.

Inside, everything runs on urgency.

Giving more than you have.
Calling exhaustion effort.

The first week of January 2025 I got sick.
I cried. A lot.

That week I saw how much I had been giving outward
and how little was returning to me.

The decision wasn’t dramatic.
There was no plan.

Just a word that appeared in my journal:

Nourish.

Not produce.
Not achieve.
Not give.

Nourish.

That week I bought myself a promise ring.
Slippers. A robe. Small things.

Not gifts.
Promises.

That was the first decision.
Day 2 coming soon.

When someone needs to be louder,
they’re hiding something.

Truth doesn’t shout.
It simply stays.

Most decisions don’t require more thinking.

They require removal.

When too many options stay open,
clarity disappears.

The work is not choosing faster.
The work is eliminating what was never yours.

They look like silence. Like walking away. Like finally letting something close.
