How a small decision can turn your life around

If you’re not living the life of your dreams and feel trapped in a rut, it could be down to poor decisions you have made. If you fail to make positive decisions such as quitting bad habits or changing negative patterns of behaviour, you are holding yourself back from getting where you want to be in life.

More often than not your gut instinct is the decision to go with but there are tips and techniques we can utilise to make good decisions quickly. Weighing up the pros and cons of a decision is logical but don’t waste too much time deliberating or worrying about the consequences. Perhaps tackling problems in a different way is the answer.

Maybe you struggle with indecisiveness or self doubt. Perhaps you simply need to stop procrastinating and become more assertive at decision making. Learning about the science behind decision making is incredibly helpful for making better decisions.

What small decision can you make today to improve your life?

Even a tiny decision can become a catalyst for change. Just imagine if you decided to ditch the burger and chips in favour of a healthy salad. Your body would immediately benefit from a vitamin boost, you’d consume less unhealthy fat and your mind would benefit too.

This small decision could make you feel so good that you resolve to eat healthy meals more often. The results would be improved health, greater vitality and increased self esteem. You may even resolve to start exercising regularly to get even fitter and healthier.

Changes will only occur when you act on your decisions

Acting on your decisions will bring about the results you desire; making wishy-washy decisions and not following through won’t. As you get into the habit of following through on decisions; you will become more confident at taking decisive action and see that commitment really does result in achieving goals.
