Hi there,
Happy almost September! Up until three days ago, I thought Labor Day was next Monday (and not in just two days)… I’m finding it challenging to keep up with the changing months and seasons, especially with our never-ending summer weather.
With Labor Day comes Labor Day sales, which makes me think it’s the perfect time to finally replace my laptop—its habit of shutting off unexpectedly is less and less amusing. Choosing a new laptop will be a challenge, but I’m hopeful that the deadline will prompt me to make a decision quickly. Otherwise, I might end up waiting until November!
Our blog article this month dives into decision paralysis and explores why making a choice can sometimes feel so difficult. Whether it’s a major life decision or something small, we hope it provides some helpful insights and makes things a bit easier for you.
For those seeking support on this topic or anything else, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can contact us via email at info@takeroottherapy.com or by phone/text at (323) 388-5578.
Warmly,
Saba Harouni Lurie (she/her/hers)
