Relieving the Stress of Decision-Making

My company contracts with Daily Journey to give thought and suggestions on different themes. Any misinformation here is the fault of the note-taker.

  • Find clarity on our core values. If we value honesty, instead of stressing on what you’ll say, just tell the truth.
  • The more we build a habit the easier it gets.
  • Sometimes there may not be a right or wrong in a decision.
  • If we do our best in considering the welfare of as many people as possible and take into account all the info we had available at the time. Then we made the best decision we could at the time.
  • It’s impossible to know the future.
  • Sometimes when the results of our decision become more visible it sometimes feels like we should have done something else. It doesn’t chagne the intent of what we thought was best at the time we made the decision.
  • It is possible to make peace with the decision you’ve made and to move forward with clarity on future decisions that is based on your set of core values.
  • If we identify what we truly believe in, use the strength of our minds to think, speak and act under those beliefs.
  • And hold steady with the wellbeing of the whole which includes ourselves and others. we are sure to find out why.

Assignment:

  • Make a list of 7 to 10 things you value in life.
  • Some examples are honesty, love, family, non-harm, generosity etcetera.
  • Once you’ve made your list put it somewhere you will see frequently.
  • Use it as a little reminder.
  • This will allow you to revisit those values and change them if need be.
  • Lastly, consider what an idea means to be right or ideal.
  • Is it always dependent upon the result of the decision? or is there other ways to define good decisions?
  • Contemplate that possibility along with your personal values and see what you come up with.
