The ability to make a choice in a given situation allows a person to keep important matters under control. It also helps in small things: often a person thinks too long what to eat or what to wear. Logical actions make the future predictable and the quality of life higher. How to act in order to make the right decisions? After all, sometimes it can be very difficult.
Instructions
Step 1
In any endeavor, the best place to start is by prioritizing. Think about what you are striving for, what result you expect from your decision, whether you can achieve what you want as a result of a specific choice.
Step 2
Try to make a choice from the opposite, excluding those options that will lead you away from the intended path to the side. Think over all the consequences of your action in your mind, taking into account all kinds of "but" and "if".
Step 3
Take action without delaying the decision. Gathering the information you need doesn't have to take forever. Don't make your research on the topic redundant, because the human brain is capable of processing a limited amount of data. Stop in time so as not to overload your head with unnecessary information.
Step 4
Not every decision turns out to be the most correct afterwards. However, this does not mean at all that one should let go of the initiative. Tell yourself that at that moment you found the only right way out. Awareness of the rationality of your action in this situation will give you greater confidence in your abilities.
Step 5
Very often, life requires a person to make lightning decisions, not giving time to think. They say that when you don't know what to do, do what your conscience tells you to do. Try to put yourself in the place of another person more often, “pretend” on yourself your actions. By learning to better understand and empathize with strangers' needs, your conscience will help you make the right decisions when you need them.
Step 6
Try to change yourself step by step. For example, you used to quarrel with your friend over where to go, but now you throw a coin so as not to argue about the place of rest, because the main thing for you is communication. You just couldn't get yourself together to open an account, because you didn't know what criteria to use when choosing a bank. Now you have found a financial expert and received some good advice. You have long dreamed of changing your hair color and making a short stylish haircut, but everyone did not dare to do so. Yesterday you signed up with a friend's hairdresser whose hair style you really like.
Step 7
If you are naturally shy, try a different type of behavior to be more decisive. Try to act like an extrovert: make independent decisions more confidently and more actively. Remember that your own choices, even if not the best ones, will make you happier.
