AI summary: Triple Guessing: A Deeper Reflection on Choices
- Beyond Second Guessing: Triple guessing takes you a step further than the common practice of second guessing. It's a more profound examination of your decision-making process.
- Rediscovering Original Wisdom: In this stage, you begin to recognize the inherent value and wisdom in your initial choice. You realize that your original decision may have stemmed from a place of authenticity, even if it wasn't immediately apparent.
- Uncovering Subconscious Authenticity: Triple guessing helps you understand that your first instinct might have been an expression of your true self, albeit one that was not fully conscious or articulated at the time.
- Distinguishing Internal vs. External Influences: While second guessing often results from external pressures or social expectations, triple guessing allows you to differentiate between these outside influences and your own inner voice.
- Embracing Your Unique Perspective: This process acknowledges that others may not have your specific experiences or point of view, validating the unique context of your original decision.
- Balancing Reflection and Action: Triple guessing isn't about indecision, but rather a thoughtful reconsideration that can lead to more confident and authentic choices moving forward.
