“Flipping a coin when making a decision… isn’t that for things like when deciding what flavor ice cream I should get?”

Nope.

You’ve done all the thinking and analyzing but still can’t make a decision. If you’re an indecisive person or simply can’t make a decision even after weighing the pros and cons, flip a coin.

While that coin is in the air, pay attention to this:

How do you feel? Which side do you deep down hope it would be?

Wait until you see which side it lands on. That moment you see it, that will tell you what you want.

Sometimes, this is all it comes down to if you want to figure out what you truly want. This simple trick reveals how you feel about each possible decision.
