Today we have access to a huge amount of information, goods and services. It would seem to be happy, take what you want. But the question often comes up: is “what you want” right for me? What to choose? The more options we have, the more difficult it is to make a decision. Agree, it’s easier to choose a red or green apple than to choose among 10 varieties, and even if there is an abundance of other fruits. The difficulty of making choices leads to stress. In a state of uncertainty, a person can become so immersed in the analysis of all possible options that he devotes all his energy to this study and decides not to act at all. Or he will make a decision rashly, tired of being in limbo. Why is this happening? ◾One of the reasons may be the fear of missing the mark and making the wrong choice. However, no matter which option we prefer, there will be pros and cons. And even having made a decision, we cannot say that having made a different choice we would have been happier or less happy, since in this case more information is revealed to us about only one of the options. ◾Fear of judgment can also hinder decision making. What will people think? How often do we make decisions with everyone else in mind? Sometimes this helps us to be social and connect with other people, but it also often prevents us from hearing our own desires.◾Making choices can also be difficult due to information overload. You can find many reviews, articles, blogs that contain information about the product or service that interests us. We can't be experts in everything, how can we not get confused in such an abundance of information? ◾Lack of self-contact or self-understanding. It is difficult to make a decision if you cannot rely on yourself, if it seems that others know better. Then there will be a constant desire to turn to someone else for advice. How to cope with this complexity? Here are some strategies that can help: ✅ Determine your values ​​and priorities. When you have a clear understanding of what is important to you, choices become easier. Ask yourself the question: “What is really important to me?” and make your decision accordingly.✅ Limit your options. Avoid excessive consumption of information and goods. Eliminate unnecessary options and focus only on those that truly meet your needs and goals. ✅ Explore yourself: notice how your body reacts to this or that option, what makes your eyes light up, what gives you a greater sense of energy? ✅ Record your decision and move forward. When you have made a decision, stop doubting and start taking action. ✅ Be prepared for changes. Your solution may not be perfect, and that's okay. It's important to remember that we all make mistakes and learn from them. If you realize that your choice is incorrect, do not be afraid to analyze the situation, draw conclusions and make a new decision.
