When it is hard to make a decision
I’ve had an email from a career coaching client - she is torn over what to do in her working life - to find a new job or to start her own business.
In this sort of situation it can be hard to make a decision.
A couple of techniques that might help:
The logical approach
- List each option at the top of a sheet of paper
- Rule the paper in two - head the left hand side positive points, and on the right negative points
- Then create alist of points under each column
- Having done this for one option, start again for the next.
The creative approach
- List the different options you have. Take each in turn
- Close your eyes and imagine you being successful in this option - what do you see, how do you feel, is this a good picture or scary.
- What do you like about this possible future?
- What concerns you?
- Open your eyes and make some notes on this option
- Go through the same process for your next option.
So why not try these two differet techniques when you have a decsion to make. One may be easier for you than the other, but it is worth trying out both.
Good luck and let me know how you get on.
