Have you ever found yourself scrolling through streaming services, overwhelmed by the thousands of options, only to continue scrolling for what seems like forever? 😫
According to NPR, indecisiveness has become more common among Americans since the COVID-19 pandemic. The American Psychological Association's yearly 'Stress in America' Survey reveals that almost one-third of American adults often struggle with everyday decisions. 🧠
Here’s how to be less indecisive:
Nothing is Perfect ✨
Have you been frozen by the sheer number of options on a restaurant menu? Afraid of making the "wrong" choice? Experts say there is often no perfect choice. Trust yourself.
Limit Your Options 📋
Reduce decision fatigue by narrowing down your choices. For example, at the grocery store, avoid "analysis paralysis" by preparing a list and sticking to it.
Self-Trust 🤝
While second opinions are valuable, it's crucial to learn to trust yourself. "There are situations where I want to sit with the discomfort of making the decision myself," says licensed psychologist Monica Johnson via NPR. "... and then [I] kind of look at the outcome of the decision, so that I can build up trust in my ability to know what's right for me."
By practicing these tips, you can become more decisive and confident in your everyday choices. 💪 #TobyTalk #Decisiveness #SelfTrust
