Life is full of choices. Starting from trivial things such as choosing which food menu is healthy, to making choices that are quite difficult, such as a life partner. That's why you need to think two or three times, even a thousand times if possible, before making any choice. However, there are some things that make you more likely to make the wrong decision. In fact, that one choice will affect your life in the future.
Why do you often make the wrong decisions
Making up your heart in choosing a decision is important. This is a consideration that the decision will be carried out wholeheartedly and you accept the risk.
In order not to go wrong, you need to know what factors lead you to bad decisions, including:
1. You are too optimistic
Being an optimist is good, but not always beneficial in all situations. Especially if your inner optimism has gone so far that it obscures your logic to consider all the consequences of the choices you have.
Research shows that being overly optimistic tends to lead to overly high expectations and thus underestimate the worst that could possibly happen. “There's no way this will end badly! Everything is guaranteed smooth running!"
It also gives rise to the thought that bad things that happen to other people cannot possibly happen to oneself. This is what can lead to bad decisions.
So, what should I do? Being optimistic is good, but you also need a backup plan to prevent unwanted risks.
2. Do not make the pros and cons of each choice
You will certainly be even more dizzy when faced with so many choices without knowing which one has the best potential. Therefore, one way to help make the right decision is to list the pros and cons of each option you are considering.
Before finally giving up on the situation and choosing to “cap-cip-cup grasshopper buds”, sit back and think carefully about the most profitable possibilities and the worst risks of each option. Write them all down in list form, then think back over which one is really best for you.
3. Too hurried
Considering options and making decisions takes extra hard work of the brain. Well, this process should not be rushed. The brain needs to analyze problems, find solutions, weigh the good effects and risks accurately, and provide judgments.
If either of these processes is missed, the decision can be made a bad choice. Also consider input from people around you.
