How to overcome the ambiguity effect
Self-reflection can help you to see where you are on the spectrum of ambiguity. Think of a time when you had to decide with limited information. How did you address it? How did you feel while trying to make a choice? Which option did you choose?
If you have low levels of tolerance for ambiguity:
- Practice mindfulness. Be aware of your emotions.
- Make time to think about the decisions you need to make.
- Embrace creative solutions instead of getting stuck in fear.
- Articulate what you want the outcome to be.
