It is very hard to do all by yourself! It gets scary fast, especially as we start to get older and need to pick a career or go to college.

However, when it is our choice to make a decision and the options are astoundingly large we feel scared, intimated, and feeling like we could loose ourselves in the process if we pick the wrong option.

So in order to make any proper decision and feel confident and secure it in, we have to check out emotional state. Let’s start with a few of these kinds of questions:
Once we have a better grasp of understanding these traits we have a better understanding of where to start to build your confidence and know who you are. At Mountainside Counseling, PLLC our goal is like your goal, to feel empowered by your decisions, and knowing that when we make the wrong decision, we know how to correct it, own it, and take responsibly and change the direction.
