Re: Major life decisions

Hi @Elf, I've not met you yet, nice to meet you.

Pro and Con list?
Listen to BOTH your heart and your head.
Ask a friend for advice

Remember you can only make a decision on the information you have available to you at the time, so don't beat yourself up if it's not the perfect decision.

Hi @Elf

When you feel up to it, I would love to hear which strategy you ended up using and if it was helpful 🙂

All the best,

Re: Major life decisions

Hello @Elf, nice to meet you 🙂

I agree with @Former-Member, a pro's and con's list is really helpful to outline your reasons for certain options you can take in your life. I also find it helpful to think of the long term and short term benefits as well as cons to do a more thorough list. And just be completely honest with yourself
