Do you find it difficult to make decisions? Sometimes I find it difficult to even choose which snack to buy in a shop. Should I get a bar of chocolate or crisps? One moment I want the chocolate, but then I think, actually some crisps would be nice. I change back and forth between the two. Such indecision is ok for trivial matters like buying a snack but when it comes to life changing decisions such as where to live, what job to take, or whether to leave one, what to study etc then the indecision can go on for days or weeks. You weigh up the pros and cons. One second your convinced you have the right decision, but then the next moment your convinced of the other. Your emotions are all over the place. You just get more and more frustrated, and wish someone else would just decide for you. I used to suffer from this terribly. And I now know why. It´s because I was mentally and emotionally fatigued. My thoughts and emotions were not in sync. I´d think one thing and feel a certain way about it and then a moment later I´d think the same thing but have a different emotional reaction. We have only a certain amount of emotional energy that we can be supplied with. When we feel strong emotions, anger, frustration, regret, fear etc then we are using up this supply. And this can make decision making difficult. Try not to put too much importance on making decisions, instead try to focus on calming yourself down. When you are calmer of mind the decision will be much easier to make. Best, TrueVoice
