Pod #696: What to do when both choices are bad

April 3, 2026 by Gene Monterastelli

One of the reasons we resist taking action is that some actions simply can't be taken back. Our subconscious mind keeps us stuck because it's trying to figure out the perfect thing to do, but because the future is unknown, it's impossible to be certain.

This leads us from thinking about the best choice, to stalling on making a choice, to things getting worse because we aren't doing anything at all (which is itself a choice).

This kind of cycle can happen with any decision, but it's particularly likely when you're facing a choice between two options that both have downsides. When you're in that situation, the resistance is going to be higher because it feels like no matter what you choose, you lose.

This week on the podcast, I share a simple tapping process that will help you take action, especially when you're faced with two choices that both feel bad.

If you use this approach, not only will you break through resistance, you'll also be much happier with the choices you make.
