What to do when you feel pulled in multiple directions

What should you do when you are pulled in multiple directions?! This question is at the heart of almost all of my work with career coaching clients. In some, it manifests as overwhelm from considering several options and wanting parts of all of them. In others, it manifests as apathy from the uncertainty they are confronted with when not knowing the best path to take.  When you don’t know what decision to make, or feel like you have lots of options to pursue, do you tend to feel overwhelmed, or apathetic?
