I'm Emily P. Freeman and welcome to The Next Right Thing. You're listening to Episode 354.

This is a podcast about making decisions, but it's also about making a life. If you struggle with

decision fatigue, chronic hesitation, or if you just need a few minutes away from the constant

stream of information,

and the sometimes delightful but distracting hum of entertainment,

you're in the right place for discerning your next right thing.

I'm an author, a spiritual director, and an occasional workshop leader.

I live in North Carolina with my family, and through my work,

I've helped thousands of spiritually thoughtful people overcome decision fatigue so that they can discern their next right thing in faith, work, and life.

Today's episode is a format we've done just a couple of times before, but every time, I love

us so much and I wonder why we don't do it more often. And that is hearing from you. A few weeks ago,

I was thinking about how it's common to talk about the things we love and are saving our lives.

In fact, I have a What's Saving My Winter Life episode coming up soon. And it's also sometimes

helpful to hear people share things that they've decided to stop doing or things that are

unhelpful or did not work for

them for sure. But what's also interesting to me, and sometimes we talk less about these in my

experience, are those things, habits, products, goals, decisions that we're trying on,

and we're still working to discern if they're right for us or not.

On a podcast about decision making, I'm always looking for ways to drop us into the middle

of the process because I believe there is helpful nuance and insight there.

So today, I'm hosting a conversation about those things in our lives where we've maybe started something,

but we're not sure if they're worth finishing.
