About Making Decisions
Everywhere you turn, there are decisions tobe made. In fact, decision or choice making is part of everyday life. There are small decisions to make like what colour of dress you will wear today, and there are big ones like which college you should continue to.
Decisions are made because you are faced with needs: physical, emotional, social, economic, cultural, etc. The decision that you make and how you make it depens on your character, likes and dislikes, values, beliefs, and knowledge.
Steps to good decision making:
1.Identity your problem.
2.Identity the result you want from the decision.
3.Think of option. List the pros and cons of each option to you?
4.Choose an option. Which option feels best? Which does your gut instict say to choose?
5.Analyse the option. Why does it feels best? What is it about that decision that feels so good? If you can see obvious reasons why, go for it!
There might be times when you feel that you should have made a better choice. Try to make the best of the situation; don’t ever regret your decision. You can resolve to improve the way you make up your mind in the future. Good luck! :)
