1. Formalize the decision
When we have hard decisions in our life is common to have conflicts with our instincts, and one thing that can help us is to materialize what events can occur based on that decision.
How to do it:
Making a list of the pros and cons on paper to have a holistic view of the events that may occur can help, it will give you in greater detail the consequences of the decision you are going to make and analyze in more detail all the influencing factors. Don’t forget to highlight the most important details to know what you have to focus when you make your decision. List them by importance and evaluate which one will make you feel better. Think about your future, how it will influence the rest of your life, and what benefits or disadvantages it will have.
2. Reflect on past difficult decisions
It is important to remember a difficult decision you have made before, in some way it will help you to visualize things in a moderate way, even if the situation is not the same, the experience of that situation can help you make a better decision. Let the experience be your best ally.
How to do it:
Think of a situation where you have had to make a very important decision, it does not have to be similar, just try to remember the factor or the reason that led you to finally choose one over the other. With this in mind, ask yourself if it was the best for you, how you feel after the time has passed, and if you chose it again Adapt it to the decision you want to make now, help yourself from that experience to know what is the most important thing to take into account.
*Is important to write your thoughts.
3. Simulate the decision.
Imagine having made the decision and analyze how you feel, ask “future you” if was the correct choice.
Sometimes decisions are hard, not because isn’t clear what is supposed you have to do, but because is hard to accept. We are humans and we based a lot of our decisions by our emotions and when we are used to doing things in a certain way is difficult to change despite we know that we have to.
How to do it:
Put yourself in front of a mirror, ask yourself why you took that decision, and if you feel good taking it. If you feel that maybe it wasn’t the best choice for you and you chose it for fear or any emotional factor, ask yourself if you want to face that through all your life.
Visualize here from 5 years how this decision has changed your life and if would be anything that you will do different.
Don’t let your decisions change because of the opinion of others, choose what best suits for you. Try to see the decision for all angles.
Unfortunately, there’s no perfect way for these kinds of decisions. If they were it would be easy instead of hard.
4. Set aside time to give careful thought to the decision
Talk it with your beloved ones, give you time to reconsider your options, sometimes we feel with fatigue, and that it's not good for crucial decisions.
Fatigue makes it difficult to even think about making decisions, let alone what’s right or wrong, correct or incorrect. We follow the path of least resistance because it’s the easiest thing to do.
