Making decisions, and how it can affect your life

Monday morning’s – Mornings In The Bay checks in with Linda Kelly from “Kelly Mental Health” to discuss questions about life.

Today, we talked about “making decisions” and how it can affect your life.

Decision‑making can feel surprisingly tough, even with the small stuff, because your brain is constantly juggling options, consequences, emotions, and that little voice worrying about getting it wrong. 

But there’s real strength in slowing down and giving a decision the space it deserves — stepping back, weighing what matters most, and letting your thoughts settle instead of rushing to a conclusion. 

A well‑thought‑out choice doesn’t just feel better in the moment; it gives you confidence, clarity, and a sense of ownership over whatever comes next. Taking your time isn’t hesitation — it’s wisdom in motion.

“Not being able to make a decision … .we have to go from WHAT IF to EVEN IF.  Even if I do something, or say something that I really dislike…I will be okay”.  ~ Linda Kelly

“Try to stop protecting ourselves so much, and be okay with the possibility of discomfort.  Consider there is no perfect decision – in fact – all decisions are bad…so make the best of all the bad decisions”. ~ Linda Kelly
