in #psychology7 years ago (edited)

We all now situations where it feels that you cannot make the right decision: changing jobs. moving out etc. Making lists of good points versus bad points is what we tend to do...

Ask yourself:

“Have you ever made a bad decision?”

If you would ask this in a large audience you may not be I surprised when every hand went up. That's because we all make BAD decisions, sometime. Why? Because we rarely have all the facts and it’s difficult to predict the future.

So, back to the original question: What is the gain of writing down good or BAD?

What if you just choose between TWO GOOD CHOICES:

Just rephrase your question into:

  1. what keeps me in situation A

  2. What does pull me to situation B

If you formulate the questions in a POSITIVE way, you'll find yourself much more creative and happier with the result. Both alternatives are OK.

The decisions is the success of your life!

you are right!

That sounds good - well, if One writes stuff down and records (lists out) emotions felt, and what about situation A makes me FEEL GOOD (and the same for situation B ), it may be possible to EXPLORE one's feelings & then reflect on this for a few days.

By mulling it over a couple of days, one arrives at the optimum choice
