When life throws us curveballs, overwhelm and stress can manifest as indecisiveness as we second guess every potentially life-changing decision we need to make. In the fast-paced business world, decisions need to be made diligently to keep things moving, so read on to discover a few ways to help cure your indecisive ways.
Monday Motivation: 5 Proven Ways to Cure Your Indecisive Ways
Indecisiveness is activated by many factors including trying to please everyone, over-analyzing, a batch of bad decisions leading you to momentarily lose faith in your judgment and having too many options.
#1. Tune into your feelings
Over-analyzing is a direct consequence of not trusting your intuition. Tune into your feelings to help make the right choice for you. Write down your selections and go with the option that brings you the most benefits.
#2. Set decision deadlines
Give yourself a deadline on making easier decisions so that your mind doesn’t have time to wander off and go down the over-analyzing rabbit hole.
#3. Build trust in yourself
A lack of self-esteem can trigger indecisiveness. Work on strengthening your insecurities to help build trust, faith, and confidence in yourself.
#4. Visualize your end goal
When making important life decisions, visualize the outcomes. Visualization is the key to manifesting everything you want in life.
#5. Decision making isn’t always a race!
For the more challenging life-changing decisions, give yourself time. Sometimes sleeping on things before you make decisions gives you space, time, and clarity to make the best possible choice for you. Once you’ve brainstormed pros and cons with a reliable wise friend or mentor or two, you’re more likely to make an informed decision rather than an impulsive one.
