Decisions, decisions, decisions

I don’t know about you, but coupled with the anxiety I suffer, I often find making decisions hard, especially when I have to make multiple decisions quickly.  The time pressure just makes my brain go blank and I just can’t make any choice.

The other thing I find is that if I decide to do something and get distracted, it’s not that I don’t INTEND to do the original thing I planned, I simply don’t remember what it was.  And I’m sure you’ve also done the “I’m going to do this when I get to the kitchen”, reach the kitchen and wonder what you’re doing there and have to go back to where you started to remember….

Fact is, many decisions we make one day can impact our future, either for a particular event or for an occasion, or for a shorter or longer time in your life.  Some choices, of course, can impact the rest of your life.  For example, when I wanted to make a new/clean start in Scotland, I knew that once I got here, there was not much chance of me going back.  

Choosing to move to a new country is a massive decision and not one to be taken lightly.  If I could go back and make new choices, would I have decided to come to Scotland again?  Absolutely.  For me that was completely the right choice and has given me me a wonderful little family.

For me, it’s more the minor decisions I find harder to make and bigger ones appear to be easier (although they take a lot of thought) because there isn’t such an instant time pressure on me and I can take time with it.

TREASURE

I can make big decisions and just need to give myself time to be able to make smaller choices more easily.
