How to make the right decision? // Beat the indecision

in #help7 years ago (edited)

The key to making a good decision is to balance between following intuition and reason.
While you can never be sure what exactly will be the consequences of your big decision, you should not even know.
But one thing is certain: Nothing is worse than staying in a state of indecision.

Here are some tips to help you:

Believe yourself

When making a decision, it is important to follow the instincts and stand behind your beliefs.
Although it takes time to analyze your decision, you shouldn't take long to wait.
The longer you wait to make a decision, the more doubts will arise.
Before analyzing the advantages and disadvantages, be sure to ask what common sense tells you.
You will often find that your initial assessment was quite OK.

Weigh possible outcomes

Although the instinct is important, make sure that you consider the decision rationally.
Clarify the reasons for and against any possible election to figure out what makes you the most meaningful.
Balancing emotional reactions by using logic and making sure that you take into account all relevant decision makers.

Look for advice when needed

Being confident does not mean that you always have the right answers.
In most cases, if you feel insecure, seeking advice from others is a great way to build self-confidence.

Find the reason why

Do you know why you are even thinking about the controversial topic around which you make the decision?
Sometimes the details blend a clear picture and the basic reason why we want something or not.
If you know why are you deciding something, you will easier make the right decision.

Sleepover

It is useful to sleep after making a decision and after checking whether something has changed.
The reason for this is not a delay, but the fact that in the sleeping brain works for our benefit.
It sorts out the thoughts, impressions and events of the day. Separates importantly from important, connects experiences,
sorts in famous categories - unknown, dangerous - harmless ...
In the morning, let us be in a much clearer picture.
Many creative solutions appear just in the morning when we don't expect them.

Do not decide under pressure

If you don't make the decision until the last moment, you know for sure what's going to happen when you have to decide.
Decisions made under time or some other pressure, under stress and emotional reaction - are not reasonable decisions.
If you decide under stress, you decide from uncomfortable feelings (often fear) and in that state you are not able to
Rationally evaluate because it creates a blockage. Usually you will not be satisfied with the outcome.

Be positive

Stay positive regardless of everything. If you become insecure, you will not have the power to deal with difficult times.
You never know when a decision can completely change your life, when you least hope.

Great post. I literally spend 4 hours on looking for a pair of spectacles today. Making a decision in a seas of choices is very frightening to people like me. Every decision is a right one and a wrong one. Sometimes it matters the most just to make one...if we can do it at all.....

I can fully understand you! The same thing for me, but as I grow older I'm faster in making my choices. It's up to person I guess...
Thank you for commenting.

Keep up the good work. Look forward to more of your posts!

Thank you! I'm reading you too :)

Thank you @olga.maslievich!
Love your lovely photo! You look very happy :)

I guess it's much more complex to make a decision than to do the list that you mention. There are also financial and emotional consequences with our action or inaction. Whilst the decision we make may just be binary, the factors that goes into the consideration may very well result in a life-changing path for us.

Regardless, we should all assume the responsibility of our choices in life. Steem on!

Tip is one, and the decision is the other. It is always easiest to give advice when you are not in this situation and when you do not have to make a decision and bear the consequences.
However, sooner or later we all deal with our decisions and rarely can be corrected when it is too late.
