On Making Decisions, Are You Expanding More Than You Are Contracting?
In this episode of heartbeat, Dr. Brooke Stuart dives into a discussion on making decisions, are you expanding more than you are contracting? When you want to check out, check in and engage. It’s easy to want to disconnect and divide ourselves from the process- but as mentioned the answers always lie in the commitment to let go, grow and taken in the many lessons along the way.
- Your Life Experience As A Whole: Are you contracting more than you are expanding? Is your life building out or shrinking in? Are you growing, creating healthy and taking pride in your choices or undermining the dreams strategically placed within your heart?
- Inner Compass: When you close your eyes, from the space of your authentic self, what is the next best step for you?
- If It Is What It Is: If it is what it is, and you stop placing energy into trying to make it into what isn’t, where will it go, how will it grow and in this, you will finally know what you are working with and if you want to be a part of it.
- A Match: If it is a match for you, you will know because you will not continue to feel contracted and uncertain about it.
- Inner And Outer Work: It’s important to do both. When we shift, our external world often does too- however, if it doesn’t we have our answer and in this, we can begin to open up to other options and choices.

I found your discussion of the “expanding vs. contracting” approach to decision-making to be fascinating. It’s interesting to consider how our decisions may either expand or contract our opportunities and possibilities in the future. I’m curious to know more about how individuals can work to expand their thinking and perspectives in order to make more effective decisions. Additionally, do you have any advice for individuals who may be struggling with decision-making and feeling stuck in a contracted mindset?
