    Right now I have 2 important decisions to make and I'm just wracking my brain, giving it tons of thought, lots of headspace and I'm still in mental perma circles.

    How can one follow through on the decision? Is it right? Can it be undone?

    :eek: I'm losing it.

    Write a list of the pros and cons.
    Put it away for 24 hours or longer.
    Come back with a fresh mind, read it again and decide.
    Once the decision is made, forget there was ever an alternative.

    Take a shot of whiskey before writing the list. It will take the stress and pressure out of writing it.

    Put your troubles in each fist, place them behind your back, and I'll pick one.

    I'd recommend allowing me to make the decisions for you

    choose whichever option is harder, those are usually the more rewarding ones.

    I'm a lister maker, so I'd go with the pros and cons list.

    Good luck whatever it is you decide on whatever it is you're deciding. ;)

    Lists are useful preliminaries; but in the end, only the courage of the nose does it for you [​IMG]

    Make the decision as if somebody not in your shoes is making it. This removes your emotion from the equation.

    I don't do lists but do journal writings. Smoke a fattie....lean back and let go of my thoughts.

    Generally it becomes clear to me by the end of that session.

    To make the best decisions , I:-
    meditate/breathing
    exercise hard , then chill with music.
    or take a walk in the sun and fresh air
    getting pissed *can* be good.
    talk to positive people , avoiding negative ones.
    sleep on it for a day , 2 , whatever.
    Oh and lists are vital...

    often I try and do a trial of what I choose.
    Be true to *yourself*.
    Good luck!
