The High Cost of Doing Nothing By: Daniel Sitter

The High Cost of Doing Nothing By: Daniel Sitter


Cost is sometimes a difficult term to define. Here, we are not simply discussing cost as it relates to selling price, but rather opportunity cost. The web site, "Mentors, Ventures and Plans" defines opportunity cost as "The loss of the next best alternative whenever a decision is made involving two or more options". "Investing in Options" defines it as "Choosing the best alternative means that you can't choose the next-best alternative. Opportunity cost is the next-best alternative that must be sacrificed in order to get something else you want. Opportunity cost can be thought of as the road not taken." Inactivity, or doing nothing, is usually the highest price paid and is often associated with great opportunity cost. Inaction is usually the worst decision one can make, made from a base of fear.

Many of us freeze when facing decisions. For some reason, decision making becomes complex, paralyzing and even painful for many people. It should not be this way. Making a decision is simply the act of choosing between alternatives. You must learn to weigh the implications of each possible decision and choose the outcome that is best for you and all others involved. For example, when your telephone bill comes due, you may choose to pay it or not. There are real obvious consequences for both actions. The situation becomes more complex however, when our human emotions enter the picture. For instance; you are offered a new job and must decide to leave your current position and move your family to a new location, hundreds of miles away..

What we often fail to realize, is that delaying important decisions or simply not making a decision at all, are actions that often impact us with the highest opportunity costs and worst case scenarios. Inactivity, or the lack of a decision, is actually a decision made, although one seldom made in our best interests. In this case, we unfortunately transfer over control of our lives to external forces and circumstances. We are now positioned to be at the mercy and decision-making of others. This is not your best scenario. There are often unusually high costs associated with doing nothing.

Decision making is actually a skill set that can be learned and refined. Like all skills, entering into a new area as a novice requires practice and application in order to improve. Keep in mind that you will indeed improve! Start small, with less important decisions involving less than crucial outcomes and gradually make more decisions on matters of greater importance. Soon, you will have few if any issues with making decisions. Learn to start small and work your way up, gradually extending your comfort zone in this area. A by-product of learning these new skills is that your confidence will surely improve as well.
Decision making need not be frightening. Think of it as a process that is your own, shedding any external pressure that others may be applying. Take your time, get your facts and choose the outcome that works best for you. Do not allow yourself to fall victim to the high cost of doing nothing.

PSTEC Negative - The Belief Eraser



I met Tim in about 2015 in Barnard Castle where I grew up, in our local recording studio. (I used to sing and write songs back in the day!) One day I was in there recording a song, I hadn't sang or performed for about 10 years so was feeling really anxious and couldn't relax in the recording booth. So Tim said would you like a bit of Hypnosis or would you like to try one of these click tracks? I said well hypnosis seems a bit extreme! But what's this click track?

So he handed me his phone and headphones, and said it'll only take 5-10 minutes, just listen to this. So I put the headphones on, closed my eyes and listened to the click track. I had to do a tapping rhythm with each hand as I heard a particular tone, whilst focusing on the emotion and listening to his voice talk me through the process. I had to rate how I felt at the beginning from 1-10 and then again at the end. It was quite hard to stay focused on the emotion whilst multitasking with all the tapping and listening, but that's the point!

Afterwards I felt so calm I just went back into the studio and sang! It was amazing, I felt complete relief!
Tim explained that the process re programmed the synaptic connection in your brain to that emotion or memory or fear that causes you distress. Honestly it was incredible!

The next day in my studio, it was the lead up to Christmas so a crazy time of year for me, and I had loads of orders to make. (I'm a jewellery designer and goldsmith!) Usually I would feel so stressed, I would feel really tight across my chest and would notice I was holding my breath, rushing around finding it really hard to focus. But this felt different, today I was calm, I was working efficiently, breathing normally and getting things done with ease! It was unbelievable! I was just gliding around the studio and got everything done without any stress at all!!!!!

I suddenly realised that for years I'd actually been suffering with pretty intense anxiety and all of a sudden I experienced life without it!!!!! I was so excited I rang round my family and sent links to my friends to tell them all about it and to try it!

After that I went home and made a list of all of the negative junk from the past that I wanted to get rid of, resentments, anger, stories that would play on repeat in my mind that would make me feel really mad. Things from past relationships that were upsetting me and holding me back. Preventing me from moving on and healing!

And one by one I worked through them. Some things needed to be worked on a couple of times, looking at them from different angles or perspectives. And after each one I felt so much lighter! I felt free, it impacted areas of my life that I hadn't even realised were being effected.

I was so excited because for years I've tried so many processes and techniques for self help and non of them worked so quickly and easily! It was absolutely amazing!

Every therapy, tool and technique has helped me in different ways, but this one I cannot recommend enough!

Don't be put off by the look of the website, or the amount of clicks you'll make before you download the track, because the content is incredible and the best bit is that it's free for personal use! Therapists have to pay but we can just use it for free! I've shared this with so many friends and family, and they've used it to over come anxiety, fear of flying, stop smoking, all kinds! Try it go for it! Let me know how you get on?
