I am the mistress of the costly lesson, so I felt very seen. For me, all of the above is textbook ADHD (and I don’t mean to diagnose you btw) but that’s a huge part of how my ADHD manifests. Impulse decisions, pressure to make a decision, not reading small print, signing up to courses and hating them... lol. Are we related?
Can so relate to this... I am such a get on and do kind of person and because of that have made many costly mistakes over the years. Most of them have turned out well though and it's always preferable to doing nothing. Love the house and house colour Kerstin. Are you doing the whole house or just the outside?
I too have enrolled in something before the early bird price expired, only to have buyer's remorse later. I made the decision on a high. It may be something I want to do at some point, but had I taken a pause, I would have realized I didn't have the bandwidth to take on a new project. As for the house color, I think sometimes we do have to just make a decision, especially when others are waiting (as long as they have been reasonably patient with the process also). In those cases, it's hard to be okay with the choice feeling not quite right. But that's something I'm working with internally also. Can it be not quite what I expected but still be good? Having seen the house color in person, I can confirm it's lovely. But I get that you had something else in mind, and I would be experiencing the same internal debate about it too!
The costly lessons when we ignore our emotional authority

I recognise myself in this and have many costly mistakes to my name, though I’m not a Projector, I’m a ManiGen.
