Hi Everyone I need some advice on how to decide what to do with myself. I can’t seem to find a way to make any decisions without doubting and It’s driving me insane because I don’t know how to help myself with my decision making
Making decisions can be challenging, but it's important to approach the process with a clear and structured mindset. some steps that may help you with decision-making: Clarify your values and priorities,understand what matters most to you in life. Identify your core values and what you want to achieve. This can provide a framework for making decisions that align with your goals. Gather information,make sure you have all the relevant information about the decision you need to make. Research, seek advice from others, and consider the potential outcomes of each option. Consider Pros and Cons,make a list of the advantages and disadvantages of each choice. This can help you weigh the potential benefits and risks associated with each decision. Trust your instincts,sometimes, your gut feeling can guide you in the right direction. Pay attention to your intuition and how you feel about each option. Set a deadline,avoid overthinking by setting a deadline for making your decision. This can help prevent analysis paralysis and move you towards taking action. Talk to friends, family, or a mentor about your decision. Getting a different perspective can provide valuable insights and help you gain clarity. Start small,if you're struggling with a major decision, try making smaller decisions first. Practice building your confidence in decision-making by starting with less critical choices. Reflect on past decisions ,consider how you've made decisions in the past and what you've learned from those experiences. Use this insight to improve your decision-making skills going forward. Remember, it's okay to make mistakes and learn from them. Decision-making is a skill that can be developed over time. If you continue to struggle with making decisions, you may want to consider seeking support from a therapist or counselor who can help you navigate through the decision-making process. I hope these tips help you gain more confidence in making decisions.
@Anonymous - Thank you so much for your advice it means a lot 🙂❤️
@Brynnie Bear You're welcome. I wish you the best as you want
If you don’t make a decision, the decision between a and b will always stay in the back of your mind, so the more decisions you postpone the more your working mind will be busy in the background. Just make one decision and see how it goes. I think successful people are the ones that make decisions (and I want to be one of them) Not saying to make you feel bad, just because I learned this and want to incorporate it myself again!
@elliss2 Thank you so much ❤️💕🙂
How about making a decision and totally confidently standing behind it!
@elliss2 Sometimes I wish I could be happy with the decision I made because then I might end up regretting it but I have to be okay with that
So I feel like I always have a hard time making any decisions or staying fully committed with something. I’ve been going to school what feels like an eternity and I feel like I’m not happy and want to change my major.. but idk if it’s really what I want. I’m always second guessing myself. Also I’ve been with my bf for about 2 years and I do love him but find myself second guessing our relationship..?? Is this just me or does this somehow have anything to do with my ocd?? I overthink everything...
I feel like for as long as I can remember, my intrusive thoughts are in the form of questions. This morning, I couldn’t help but think “What do I want out of my life?””Do I want to be in a relationship with this person?””Am I making the right choices?” With every decision I make, I worry about other options, I feel like I am constantly worrying about what if this happens, what if I didn’t do that. I work with my therapist who encourages that I have issues with judgement. Because of this, I think I can never be 100% confident or assuring in myself or anything I do
Does anyone have any tips for how to make decisions faster and not go back and forth?
