Why Reflectors Need More Time to Decide (And Why That’s Not Indecision)
Many Reflectors grow up believing something is wrong with them. They’re told:
“Just decide.”
“Trust your gut.”
“Why does this take you so long?”
Over time, this creates self-doubt. But the truth is simple:
Reflectors don’t decide slowly. They decide thoroughly.
Indecision vs. Discernment
Indecision feels anxious and stuck. Reflector discernment feels spacious and observant. You’re not circling because you can’t choose. You’re circling because you’re listening.
Why Time Is Essential for Reflectors
You experience truth through:
environment
relationships
emotional climates
energetic shifts
Time lets all of that speak. When you rush, clarity collapses. When you wait, clarity stabilizes.
The Cost of Rushing Yourself
When Reflectors override their timing, they often experience:
regret
exhaustion
resentment
confusion
Not because the choice was “wrong,” but because it wasn’t fully felt.
Reclaiming Trust in Your Timing
Reflector strategy is an act of self-trust.
It says: “I don’t need to hurry my truth. I let it reveal itself.”
I explore this deeply in Episode 21 of the Designed for More podcast:
