Description

In this episode of the Courageously Unconventional podcast, we explore why many of us feel compelled to justify our decisions and how this need can impact our mental and emotional well-being.

Topics Discussed:

• The psychological and social factors driving the need to justify decisions
• Strategies to let go of the need to justify your decisions
• Creating awareness and embracing self-compassion
• Practicing simple responses instead of over-justifications
• Setting boundaries
• Surrounding yourself with support

Journal Topic: Explore Your Need to Justify Your Decisions

• Create awareness: Note when you feel the need to justify your decisions. 
• Review your notes and see what patterns are there (if any)
• Take ONE situation to explore. And with a lot of curiosity, ask yourself: why did you feel the need to defend or justify your decision?
• Offer yourself compassion. It's okay to make decisions others may not understand or agree with. See if you can understand where you were coming from and offer yourself kindness and compassion.
