Decidophobia

Decisions, decisions and more decisions! The fear of making serious decisions is a new kind of fear, called decidophobia.

We make numerous decision each day every moment some aware and some unaware,some simple and some complex.Few simple decision could be what to wear to office today , what to have for breakfast ,lunch..,some complex decision could be choosing which course to join after school ,which job offer to take ,right life partner,these are complex because these decisions are mostly irreversible or consequences would be high if a wrong decision is made ,in these scenario we get into decidophobia.

Often we avoid taking serious decisions ourself .

• Delaying the decision hoping that something will happen on its own.
• Giving the responsibility to other .(This common in our society most of the decisions are made by parents)
• Following something which worked before.(Your cousin got good job after doing MBA ,so you are also doing)
• Believing in supernatural stuffs ,god ,astrology,palmistry etc.,
• sometimes we avoid thinking about the decision itself.

Strange thing is we leave the serious decision making responsibility to others which is going to affect us.A delayed decision is as good as not making any decision at all.

lets look into what best can be done to make good decision .The first principle in making good decision is that you must not fool yourself,be honest to yourself first.

A decision usually involves three steps:

1. A recognition of a need: A dissatisfaction within oneself--a void or need;
2. A decision to change--to fill the void or need;
3. A conscious dedication to implement the decision.
