I just read in a book about anxiety, “first, we make the beast beautiful” by Sarah Wilson (really great read btw!) that one of the kindest things we can do for those we love (who have anxiety and decision fatigue is very trying) is make the decisions. “Honey, want to go out for dinner this weekend?” “Sure.” (This is where it gets weird lol…..)
Ten minutes later… “ok, I made us reservations at the Saffron Table for 6 pm, let’s dress up!”
Did you see that?? There was no “where do you wanna go? Oh I don’t care, anything is fine. What about pizza? No we had that last time. But you said you didn’t care” Seriously, wouldn’t it be lovely to just have someone CHOOSE, and you get to show up and love it?
If you’re worried that you won’t like the choice, then YOU be the one who chooses, and make someone else really happy.
In order to grow our small business, Cup of Jo earns revenue in a few different ways. We publish several sponsored posts each month, which are always labeled at the top. We also sometimes earn an affiliate commission on the sales of products we link to. We feature only items we genuinely love and want to share, and this is an arrangement between the retailer and Cup of Jo (readers never pay more for products). These are the ways we support Cup of Jo, and allow us to run the site and engage with this community we truly love. Thank you for reading!
