How to Make a Decision?

We may be faced with decisions every day. Some decisions are as simple as what to eat for breakfast or which outfit to wear for the day. Making a good decision may be challenging depending on the importance of it. Buying a new home may be a more difficult decision than choosing between clothing. Making that decision a good one may take time and thought.


1.-Write down the pros and cons of the decision you are trying to make. Seeing the benefits versus the negatives may assist you in making a good decision. Knowing the facts and the information about the situation may make the decision less taxing. My dream house did not look so appealing after the home inspection said the electrical was faulty.


2.-Resist making decisions when you aren't at your best. A good decision might be less likely to happen if it's late at night or after a very hectic day. Take your time. What good is it to rush into a decision if you regret it later? It may take longer to make a decision as we age. We may have more knowledge the older we get that may influence our decisions.


3.-Trusting your "gut" may help you make a good decision. I have heard that inner voice referred to as gut instinct, women's intuition, your conscious, the little voice, etc... You can call it just about anything. It may just be the part of us that remembers that the decisions we make today is where we'll be spending our tomorrow.
