Some of us find it easy to make decisions while others
tend to procrastinate a lot when it comes to making decisions - particularly if
they are important ones that could alter the pathway of our life. When making
decisions in life changing situations it can be hard for everyone, after all
the choice you make will affect your life and the route you choose to go might
not be easily reversible or impossible to change. If we stop and look back on
some of the biggest moments in our life that went wrong, we find that our
biggest regrets come from faulty decision-making. Perhaps we went with our gut
instinct when making a decision or we let ourselves be swayed by others, there
are many reasons why we make the wrong decisions in life and almost everyone
will have made the wrong decision at some time in their life.
Here are some
tips to help you with decision-making.
- Remember
when making a decision, no decision is right or wrong, decisions are
merely making a choice among alternatives.
- Always
avoid making a snap decisions about something, if a decision is easily
reversible then you can move fast on it while irreversible ones should be
thought out.
- Jot
down notes when making a decision, write down all solutions and include
all relevant information, by seeing it written down in black and white
sometimes the answer is staring you in the face.
- Write
down all the pros and cons of the decision you make, it can help clarify
your decision or help you to see any problems the decision might have.
- Make
one decision at a time, never allow decisions to build up and force
yourself to make them all at once.
- If
others will be affected by your decision then get their input on the
situation.
- Make
a decision and stick with it, you have to recognize that you cannot know
with 100% certainty that it is the right one but once made stick with it.
- Before
following a decision through ask yourself what if anything could go wrong
if you followed through with this choice.
- Once
you have committed yourself to your decision then go with it
whole-heartedly, let go of all the “what ifs” and do not bother yourself
anymore.
- Visualize
your decision in your head and follow it through in your mind, visualize
all outcomes of the decision before actually following it through.
- Put
faith in your ability to make a successful decision and your ability to
follow it through.
- Review
all the facts thoroughly before you make a decision, once you have
reviewed them allow yourself to time to think about them before drawing a
conclusion and determining your decision from the facts.
- Always
try to base your decisions on what is right or feels the right thing to
do.
- Remember
to look at the objective of the decision, the alternatives to the decision
and the risks of any alternatives to the decision.
