Doubt
Does anyone have any tips for how to make decisions faster and not go back and forth?
Does anyone have any tips for how to make decisions faster and not go back and forth?
I ran into a situation with eyeglasses and when I have pair and have to pick one I would make a pro and con list , especially these days one pair of eyeglasses could easily cost into the hundreds of dollars and would like to make a good thought out decision.
Normally to have a set amount of time to consider options on a given topic more important things could require more than. When the given time is over try to stick with the decision knowing you gave the appropriate amount of time and consideration to the issue at hand and try to move on to something else.
Ohhhh, another OCD thing I do that I didn’t know was OCD. I thought I was just very thorough…and I am, but I guess it’s anxiety driving it…worrying about making the right decision, weighing all the possibilities. Sigh.
@JediMJ I feel you I hate it
I think im asking my intuition/spirit guides, and I mean ANY decision... Should i go eat, should i eat this or that, should i drink this, should i go do this or that, even in video games. It's everything from tiny choices to important ones. I think its some form of me making sure I do the thing in my best interest or whichever will have the best outcome for me, and i don't want anything with a bad outcome. Im not exactly sure when I started doing this but I've had it bad for at least 2+ years now. I feel like it's driving me insane because I KNOW i want to stop, even my spirit guides remind me i have to make my own choices because that's how life works, we aren't born knowing what's going to happen for a reason. Yet, I can't seem to stop myself. The worst part is, it's never decisive. I can't tell the difference between my OCD thought and my intuition, so I actually drive myself INSANE not being able to make rhe right choice, even with the small things like whar to eat. It makes me want to tear my hair out, it's so stressful for me. This is daily too, I don't know what to do to get rid of it anymore. I even tell myself sometimes when i ask to just do what I WANT to do, but my OCD fights me... Please help
Any tips on whenever you’re getting that intrusive thought, what can I tell myself without reassuring myself
How does one take the step to except uncertainty especially when the thoughts are so disturbing and ones you know do not reflect your values and true feelings, how do you do this but remind yourself it’s not truly who you are, how do you not feel guilty?
