While doing certain things, people sometimes have serious doubts about their correctness. However, there are clear criteria by which you can determine how well you are doing.
What is worth listening to
When you make a difficult choice, psychologists recommend listening not to the arguments of the mind, but to your heart. The fact is that our logic is often fettered by a variety of doubts and contradictions, as well as complexes and imposed beliefs. Meanwhile, our feelings are much more sincere. If a person always acts according to his heart, then he knows no doubts and regrets about something that has not been done. Psychologists are sure that deep down, everyone knows exactly how he should act, at least when the decision concerns his own life.
There is a good way to determine exactly how you are feeling at the moment. Take a coin and flip it. If something that you sincerely desire fell out, then you will gladly do it. If you didn't like the choice of the coin, then the answer is obvious: you want something completely different! Therefore, do what you want, in spite of the coin.
Not enough information
Sometimes, even tossing a coin, you cannot come to the right solution, simply because both options seem to be equally good or bad. In this case, the problem is usually a lack of information. Try to find out as much as possible about the solutions you have found. Surely some of them in the long run or when considering the details will be less profitable. Find out, and then you can make a choice.
Modeling
There are situations that need to be modeled by presenting all the possible consequences of a decision. To do this, it is best to take a piece of paper and write down what awaits you in one and the other case. What are the criteria for the development of events that are most important to you? Use them to evaluate the situations that will develop after each of the decisions. Then it will become clear what action you should take.
A look from afar
Often people are tormented by doubts, tormenting themselves with questions about how right they acted in this or that case, and whether it was necessary to do otherwise. If you are familiar with this, try looking at the situation differently. Remember that you have lived for more than one day, more than one month, or even more than one year. Try to look at your actions from afar, as if 20-30 years have passed, or even more. Most likely, it will become clear to you how good or bad your action is. Or maybe you even realize how much a minor problem worries you.
It is impossible to predict everything
Whatever methods of analyzing and predicting the consequences of your actions you may use, life is still arranged in such a way that it is impossible to foresee everything. There are such actions, the result of which can only be demonstrated by time. And even then, it is not a fact that it will do it just for you. Perhaps, if you are right now, only your descendants will be able to find out after centuries.
