Decision Making Made Easy

I used to create a LOT of drama around making decisions.

I worried that if I didn’t make the “right” decision, I would disappoint someone or find myself trapped in a situation I couldn’t get out of.

Sometimes I would even start the spiral of “what-if” thinking before there was even a decision to be made.

• Trying to decide if I should take the job before I went on the interview

• Wondering if I should say yes to a date before he even asked me out

• Stressing over whether or not to buy the house before the offer was even accepted

Here are 3 ways to take the stress out of decision making and decide with confidence:

1. It can be so easy to get ahead of yourself. Try not to get caught up in hypothetical stress instead of waiting for a real decision to be made. You can remind yourself that you will cross that bridge when you come to it.

2. Once there is an actual offer on the table, the best way to make a decision is to gather all of the pertinent information first. Ask yourself what you need to know that may influence your decision. If you have been offered a job, for example, factors like pay, schedule, benefits and time off may help you decide.

3. There is no such thing as a “right” or “wrong” decision. There is only making the best decision you can based on the information you have. Also remember that you always have a choice. You can choose to make a new decision later down the road as you gather even more information. Making a new decision does not mean that you have failed or made a mistake.

You’ve got this. I believe in you,
