#HEYGRRRLFRENNNS This year, I made a resolution that’s all about me—finally. After what felt like a lifetime of focusing on everyone else, I decided it was time to shift the spotlight back to myself. Sounds simple enough, right? Wrong. I had no idea where to even start, and before I knew it, my brain felt like it was drowning in everything: things I wanted to do, things I should do, things I was too tired to do, and things I felt guilty about not doing. It was A LOT. Like, “how did I even get here?” levels of overwhelming. I found myself paralyzed by all these competing thoughts, like I was stuck in an endless loop of indecision and self-doubt. But then, after what I can only describe as a mental scream session (10/10 recommend), I had a breakthrough: I needed to simplify. Not just my to-do list, but the way I was thinking about everything. So, I made a decision to…make decisions. Sounds obvious, but stick with me. I realized that the quickest way out of my head was to stop overthinking and just pick a lane. No endless deliberating, no crowd-sourcing opinions, no second-guessing myself. Just decide, commit, and move on.

I came up with three rules for myself: 1) I am an adult who can do whatever she wants, 2) I’m going to do whatever makes me happy, and 3) I don’t care what anyone else thinks about it. And y’all? It’s been LIFE-CHANGING. Okay, I’m only a week in, but still. My brain feels clearer, my days feel lighter, and I’m not wasting my energy stressing over every little thing. Now, I want to help you grrrlfrenns find this same peace by unlocking the power of being decisive It’s not about being reckless or impulsive; it’s about trusting yourself. Because guess what? You already have the tools to figure it out, grrrly pop. You don’t need a million opinions or a 10-step decision-making process (because honestly, who has time for that?). What you need is to take a breath, pick a direction, and trust that no matter what happens, you can handle it. Today, we’re diving into how being decisive can help you find clarity, create boundaries, and make room for the things that truly make you happy.

Fear In Disguise

Let’s talk about the mind game that is indecision, grrrlfrenns. You know the one—where you’re sitting there trying to pick between two options, and suddenly it feels like the weight of the entire universe is on your shoulders. Should you order tacos or pizza? Should you take the new job or stay where you are? Should you start that hobby you’ve been thinking about or wait until you “feel ready”? Before you know it, you’ve wasted an hour (or more) spiraling through every possible outcome like you’re auditioning for a Netflix drama called Overthinkers Anonymous. Here’s the truth: overthinking is just fear in disguise. It’s the fear of making the “wrong” choice, the fear of disappointing others, or the fear of stepping out of your comfort zone. And while fear loves to act like it’s being helpful, all it’s really doing is keeping you stuck. But here’s the good news: breaking out of the indecision trap doesn’t require some grand act of courage. It just requires a little self-awareness and a lot of self-trust. The next time you catch yourself spiraling in indecision, try this: set a timer for two minutes, and give yourself permission to make a decision before the timer runs out. No second-guessing, no overanalyzing—just decide. You might be surprised how freeing it feels. And remember, grrrlfrenns, most decisions aren’t permanent. If you don’t like the outcome, you can pivot. Life isn’t a one-and-done deal; it’s a series of choices, and every single one teaches you something valuable.

Decisions Are Like Pizza

Okay, grrrlfrenns, let’s break it down with an analogy we can all get behind: decisions are like pizza. When you’re choosing a pizza topping, there’s no such thing as a “perfect” choice (unless it’s sardines, and in that case, we need to talk). Whether you go for pepperoni, veggie, or plain cheese, the truth is, you’re still getting pizza—and pizza is almost always a win. Life works the same way. Sometimes we get so caught up in finding the “perfect” option that we forget most choices are good enough to move forward with.This doesn’t mean you should settle for anything that comes your way, but it does mean you don’t have to spend hours agonizing over every detail. Stop trying to create a masterpiece every time you make a decision. Aim for what feels good, what feels manageable, and what you know you’ll actually enjoy. Just like pizza, life is better when you go with what you’re craving in the moment, not what you think you’re “supposed” to want. And here’s a secret: sometimes, the decision doesn’t even matter as much as the confidence you have in making it. Whether you pick A or B, what really changes your life is trusting yourself enough to make a choice and stick to it. So next time you’re stuck in decision limbo, ask yourself: “Will this matter in a week? A month? A year?” If the answer is no, go ahead and pick your “topping.” Because at the end of the day, grrrlfrenns, it’s all pizza!!

Play Your Luck

Grrrlfrenns, let’s get real for a second—sometimes the fear of making a decision feels like the end of the world, right? But let me hit you with a game-changer: what’s the worst that could happen? Seriously, play it out. Nine times out of ten, the worst-case scenario isn’t as bad as you’re making it out to be in your head. You might feel a little embarrassed, have to pivot, or spend a bit more time fixing something. But spoiler alert: you’ll survive. The truth is, making a decision—even if it’s the “wrong” one—moves you forward. Staying stuck in indecision keeps you in the same place, wasting time and energy you could be using to actually live your life. Think about it: how many times have you agonized over a choice, finally made a decision, and then realized later it wasn’t as big of a deal as you thought? That’s because most decisions aren’t permanent. You can change your mind, course-correct, or figure out a new plan if things don’t go the way you expected. Here’s a little experiment to try: the next time you’re stuck, ask yourself, “What’s the best thing that could happen if I say yes to this?” Focus on the possibilities instead of the risks. Whether it’s trying a new hobby, setting a boundary, or switching up your routine, there’s usually more to gain than to lose. And if it doesn’t work out? It’s not the end of the world—it’s just a plot twist in your story. So go ahead grrrl, make the call, send the text, or take that leap. The worst that could happen is you learn something new. The best that could happen? Your life could change for the better.

Life is full of choices, big and small, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the pressure to get them all “right.” But here’s the thing: being decisive isn’t about perfection; it’s about progress. It’s about trusting yourself, embracing the learning process, and giving yourself the grace to make mistakes along the way. Every decision you make, no matter how small, is a step toward building the life you want—and isn’t that what we’re all here for? Think about it: some of the best moments in your life probably started with a single choice. Whether it was saying yes to an opportunity that scared you, cutting ties with someone who drained you, or even just deciding to try something new for dinner, every little decision is part of the bigger picture. And guess what? None of those moments required you to have all the answers. They just required you to show up, take a chance, and trust that you’d figure it out. So, as you head into the week ahead, remember this: you are an adult who can do whatever she wants. You have the power to create the life you want—one choice at a time. Do what makes you happy, trust your gut, and don’t waste your energy worrying about what anyone else thinks. The world will keep spinning even if you make a “wrong” choice, and honestly, that wrong choice might just lead you to something amazing you never expected. Life isn’t about sitting on the sidelines waiting for the “perfect” moment—it’s about diving in, making bold choices, and figuring it out as you go.Now go and be great, you lil grrrly pop! TTYL!
