Fast- Forward
When you’re presented with different options, focus on the implications of those options rather than the options themselves. To do this, fast-forward into the future and imagine the implications of each one. Then make your decision based on these implications

When making decisions, actively consider the value both your head and your heart add. Your head provides you with a logical and rational point of view, whereas your heart can balance this out with an intuitive emotional feeling.

My Money
To create clarity of mind when making decisions, think about what you would do if you had to invest your own hard-earned cash in pursuing the options available to you.
