About Making Decision

                Everywhere you turn, there are decisions to be made. In fact, decision or choice making is part of everyday life. There are small decisions to make like what color of socks you will wear today, and there are big ones like which high school you should you should continoe to.

                Decisions are made because you are faced with needs: physical, emotional, social, economic, cultural, etc. The decision that you make and how you make it depends on your character, likes, and dislikes, values, beliefs, and knowledge.

Steps to good decision making :

1.       Identify your problem

2.       Identify the result you want from the decision

3.       Think of options. List the pros and of each option. What are the consequences of each option to you?

4.       Choose an option. Which feels best? Which does your gut instinct say to choose?

5.       Analyze the option. Why does it feel best? What is it about that decision that feels so good? If you can see obvious reasons why, go for it!

There might be times when you feel that you should have made a better choice. Try to make the best of the situation, don’t ever regret your decision. You can resolve to improve the way you make up your mind in the future. Good luck :)
