We make decisions every day of our lives & sometimes it's a struggle to get through it. Not to mention the anxiety & overwhelm we can experience in the process. Making decisions can be easier if we have the right mindset & consider what actually important to know about our decision. I have 5 tips on how to make decisions easier.

Show Notes:
The anxiety of not making a decision is usually what pushes me to make a decision. I don’t want the action held over my head that something needs to be decided, so I will make a decision, but then worry about whether it was a good one or not.

Along with all the things that cause struggles in our lives, having trouble making decisions can cause problems, too. Some of the reasons people have a hard time making decisions is because of the complexity of the decision, the feeling of uncertainty & whether or not you made the right decision, lack of confidence & belief in yourself & decision fatigue.

I know one of the biggest reasons is the fear of failure. You aren’t completely sure how the decision is going to pan out, you don’t know if there will be any consequences, you don’t know if you’ll have to start from scratch again & you might be worried about what other people will think of you if your decision doesn’t work out. It’s very anxiety-driven. This is also where perfectionists have a ton of trouble.

And making decisions is super important in life. We need to make decisions all the time. Small decisions about our day, big decisions that will guide our life, medium decisions that will affect someone else’s life, all the decisions. And you may not struggle with the smaller things, but the big stuff is where you anxiety prevails & it feels like the world stops because you are unable to know what choice to make. Every decision we make will guide our roadmap in life, which can be really scary & overwhelming. And we may crumble under the pressure of having to make these decisions, especially if someone in our life struggles from decision fatigue & refuses to help you make decisions. But I want you to know that I see you & I am here to at least help you with a procedure to make making decisions easier.
