I've met a lot of people who are having difficulties to make decisions. There are many reasons for this, one of those is that we have missed or felt we missed security and protection when we were young.
Generally those deep feelings of insecurity are based on fear, and fear is one of the worse enemy of being in contact with our feelings.
When we are fearful our mind is preoccupied with survival and we are generally in a alert state. In this state we are unable to get in touch we other feelings apart from fear.
If we are not in touch with our feelings we are unable to feel if we like something or not, get in touch with our instinct which tells us what is right or wrong for us in that moment.
This is why it is very important to recognise first that we are in a state of fear, this can be scary because it can increase a perception of insecurity, but we have to understand that the insecurity was always there, it was us that were 'absent' from feeling it.
Once we have accepted we are in fear, we can analise where the fear is coming from by feeling the feelings that sits under it.
Once we have done this job, we will much more in contact with ourselves, our feelings and the ability to take decisions will increase.
