Should I do this…? Or maybe I should do that? Mmm, but then I will be missing out on this! What shall I do? What if I make the wrong decision…? I just can’t decide. Maybe I just won’t do anything for the time being - that might be ‘safer’. Well, they say: ‘No decision is a decision – but what if you just can’t decide? What if indecision is taking over your life?
Reasons for chronic indecision
Overcoming indecision is about dealing with the stress of an overactive imagination. Why do I say that? Anxiety can make us imagine that there is only one exactly right decision and that all other decisions are potentially disastrous. This is true in some spheres of life, of course. The decision to jump out of the way of a fast approaching car is pretty straight forward. But in many many cases there are ‘degrees of rightness’. If we always feel we must wait for absolute certainty (which anxiety will prevent you from feeling anyway), then decisions just don’t get made. Much of life is not black or white and there are seldom completely ‘right or wrong’ decisions. When we become calmer we begin to see the subtler shades in life. But what else causes indecision?
Indecision: The painful art of putting things off
Sometimes it’s not just about overcoming fear, but also overcoming laziness and procrastination: ‘Why make a decision today when you can make one tomorrow…? Except maybe you don’t!
Of course, there are problems with this approach too. Not only do you often let opportunities pass you by, because you weren’t sure enough to seize them, but you end up draining yourself of energy. Indecision, being stuck, is a very energy consuming state.
Decisions: Problems to cause worry or the mother of opportunity?
Many people experience a constant flow of thoughts and what ifs bubbling up in their minds, because your brain treats a decision as an unsolved problem, and it’s trying its hardest to work towards a solution.
