How to Choose a Project, and the Power of Choosing

How do we choose what to focus on?

We can get caught up in indecision and overthinking things, and decision-making can be really difficult.

In this season, Leo asks you to play along and focus on a project where you'll work with fear and resistance. But how do you choose a project?

We'll take a look not only at how to choose a project, but how to choose anything. And how choosing from the heart (or gut) can be a powerful thing.

Topics Covered

  • The project Leo has chosen to work on in this season: his grandmother's book
  • Some ideas for projects you might choose for this season
  • How to deal with having multiple things you want to do — and how we get caught up in choosing the wrong thing
  • How we are choosing nothing when we don't choose
  • The consequence of choosing multiple things at once, instead of one thing
  • The consequence of choosing one thing, but then doing it because you should
  • The real power of choosing something, devoting yourself and pouring your full heart into something
  • The distinction between choosing & deciding
  • The practice of choosing from the heart
  • Calming your fears
  • Learning to let your heart have what it wants, and what happens when we do that
