Making a Good Decision

Making a good decision can be difficult and overwhelming. But, there are some decision-making steps we can follow to help you make a good decision.

·         Take a deep breath. When you need to make a good decision, the last thing you need is anxiety or stress interfering with your internal compass. So try to separate your immediate emotions from the decision-making process.

·         Mark out the parameters of the decision clearly: What choices do you have?

·         Gather as much information as you can about each alternative - talk to the appropriate people, solicit advice from friends and family, and research by reading books and magazine or newspaper articles.

·         Many people will tell you that making a good decision involves weighing the pros and cons of each option. This is a common way to make decisions, but it many not be the best way. There is a better way to make good decisions that will allow you to tap into what will make you happy in the future.

Put an end to collecting information about your decision. Avoid thinking that with just a little more time and information, you'll be able to make the one perfect decision
