Some people are natural decision makers, and they always feel sure about their choices. You find these people in presidential and corporate boarooms. If you are one of these people, congratulations! If not, you probably find decision-making difficult and even painful. Here are a few ideas that might help you when it is time to make an important decision.
Take good care of yourself right now. Eat well, get enough sleep, and exercise regularly. When you need to make a decision, you will feel better. If you feel better, you will think more clearly. If you can think cleary, decisions will come more easily.
When it is time to make a decision, you will need to review all the possibilities. Sit down with a pen and some paper, and write all the possible choices you can make. If, for example, you don’t like your job, you might write :
I can keep my job and look for a new job at the same time.
I can quit my job and look for a new job.
After you finish your list, make if sentences with the different choices.
If we continue with the example above, we might have :
If i keep my job, I won’t have enough time to look for a new job.
If a quit my job, I won’t have any money.
With your if sentences, you will see the problem more clearly.
Before you make a final decision, get some help. Talk with three friends. Tell them your problem, and ask for their advice.
If all three friends give you the same advice, the advice is probably good.
If different people give you different advice, you should probably wait before you make your decision. Do some research. Talk with more people. Above all, don’t panic! If you stay calm, you probably make the right decision. If you panic, you might make a decision too quickly, and then you might be sorry.
