Decidophobia —  fear of taking wrong decisions

Actually, take a vacation whenever :) But seriously — sometimes, it’s super refreshing to not think about something for a few days and come back to it with a new perspective.  

There are always going to be bigger decisions that we just do not have enough information about to have a clear answer on day 1 though. These are often the scariest because you think you aren’t getting anywhere in making the decision and are stuck in a loop of ‘no clue’.

But embracing and believing in the process really does wonders. Every small step like making a pros and cons list, reaching out to people to gather more information, reading up, eliminating, etc. can make these bigger decisions much less scary.

Nobody truly understands all the factors that underlie the decision. It’s important to talk to people to help shape your perspective — but ultimately, it’s your decision. And it’s essential to lead it with trust and confidence in yourself.

Take a super tough decision. One that you have wanted to take for a while, have had an answer for a while, but you just haven’t been able to bring yourself to take it.

The liberation and sense of closure that you get from taking that decision is unmatched. Suddenly, the rest of the decision making will feel unclogged and the flow of making decisions will be much smoother and uninterrupted.
