How to make deciding a lot easier
If you’re definitely the type of person who’s always asking, “why am I so indecisive?” you need to learn a few ways to help you make those choices. Here’s what you can do the next time you need to make a big decision.
There are pros and cons to every situation. If you accurately weigh them both, going with the choice that has the most pros is the obvious decision. It’ll take your emotions and the opinions of others completely off the table.
Sit down and think about what would happen with each decision. Now which of those situations made you happy and which didn’t? The choice should be pretty obvious.
Stop thinking about everyone else. If the choice will affect your life greatly, you need to think about yourself only. How will you feel? What’s best for your life? You’ll have to make choices that are good for you and might not be good for others but in this case, being selfish is necessary.
Not everyone will be happy with every single decision you make in your life. You can’t try to please people. You’ll never be happy if you do. Just realize that, no matter what, somebody somewhere won’t be happy. This can help you push those issues aside so you can make a choice.
Your gut instinct is just that, an instinct. You need to learn to trust it. If you really, really think you need to make a certain decision even though all the other signs point away from it, trust your gut. Make that choice.
If you’re having a particularly tough time, just ask a few people for their advice. Don’t ask what they think you should do, ask what advice they might have for the situation. This can help you see things from a different perspective so you can make the choice that’s right for you.
