At certain times in your life you may feel that it is very difficult for you to make a decision. This can result in you being unable to move forward with your goals and failing to make the changes you want. In this article I propose 4 tactics that will help you make decisions for a better future.
In many cases, it takes a lot of courage to make a decision.
It is likely that one of the main causes for which it costs you a lot to do it, is the fear of the consequences that said decision will bring. This usually results in you taking a reactive position from which you are not really in control of your life, but rather live in a state of uncertainty choosing experiences that keep you in your current state.
Making a decision and holding it involves a breakdown, a cut to something that is not working as we expect. The fact of declaring this break generates a chain of internal conversations and decisions with which we can configure and design our future.
It is these internal conversations that define success or failure in your life. That is why you must be very attentive to what “those inner voices” are saying to you at all times.
The fact of making a decision directly influences the achievement of the goals you have set for yourself.
Lack of focus and proactivity are often the direct causes of your not achieving the results you expect. In many cases you may want the path to your goals to be revealed to you in advance, when in reality it is you who must build that path, step by step, with your decisions and actions.
For all this, I want to propose 4 tactics that will help you when making those decisions that will take you to the future you dream of…
1. Focus on the dilemma that is holding you back and think about the result you hope to achieve.
I never tire of saying it; The first step towards solving a problem is to be clear about your ultimate goals.
What is it you want?
What is the gap you must bridge to reach your goals?
2. It is never too late to change your mind.
Keep in mind that you can never be 100% sure that the decision you have made is the correct one.
If something is not working, re-analyze the situation and make the necessary changes that allow you to achieve the desired results.
You will not always get the results you expected, but this is not bad, you can always learn from your mistakes and come out of them as a stronger person.
3. Examine what your alternatives are and take the initiative.
Don't go over the top. Find out, be effective and act.
Analyze what your different options are and take the one that you create is the best. Always remember to support your decisions with a state of mind that positively predisposes you.
Do not focus on the errors that may arise, keep your eyes on your goals.
The decision, the declaration of bankruptcy, is the most important moment between your goal and the actions you take towards it. If you do not take these actions, it means that you are not really committed to your decision and may have to re-analyze it.
4. Have confidence in yourself.
Although the panorama that is presented to you is confusing, remember that you will always have the answers you need within you.
Lean on your intuition, your past achievements and the experience you have gained from them.
Even if all this does not help you, you have the option to ask for advice and help from people you trust in the personal and work fields.
Now is the time for you to train yourself in the art of making decisions.
These are some of the skills that you must cultivate in yourself if you want your decisions to lead you to a better future…
• Learn to create positive thoughts and emotions that help you follow through on the decisions you have made.
• Learn to manage your fears, so that it is you who controls them and not they control you. Above all, the fear of making mistakes and failing.
• Learn to see with "other eyes" the options that you have in front of you, to move away emotionally from the problem and focus on the opportunity that is in it to be able to solve it.
• Learn to focus on those things you really want so that solving problems becomes a comfortable and simple habit.
• Learn to make decisions and learn from your mistakes so as not to repeat them.
Cheer up! Start today to see the wonderful world that will unfold before you when you make “making decisions” something natural and part of your day to day.
