Should I go for a hamburger or a piece of bread? Do I paint my room blue or pink? People make choices every day but it can sometimes lead to feeling scared and unsure. When you’re able to make decisions, accept and learn from them. This can give you a sense of calm.
Some decisions, like what to buy or when to go out, aren’t very serious, but others can influence your health, growth and relationships. It is important to take time to make a decision, especially when choosing makes you feel nervous. However, if you ignore (忽视) decision-making, you will be in trouble. As you grow up, making decisions becomes an important part of life.
When it comes to making difficult decisions, it can be helpful to break down your thinking. You could start by listing the different choices, then weigh up the good and bad sides of each choice.
Teacher and health expert, Anita Garai says, “Listen to your body, especially if your thoughts are not clear or you feel worried.” Garai says people should follow their true feelings and listening to their hearts can help a lot. “Try to catch your first excitement, before your mind questions things,” she says. Although considering other people’s feelings can be a part of decision-making, Garai thinks you shouldn’t make wrong decisions in order to please others.
Many people worry if they can make the “right” decision. Garai says, “There’s not always a right choice and a wrong choice. Different ways lead to different experiences.”
If your choice leads to disappointment, try to think about whether you would make a different decision in the future.
