You can face any situation where you have to take a decision, but due to the complex nature of your situation, that decision-making can become more complex in nature, and the process of thinking can become a little complex, so what to do? First, I want to say it’s not a problem because the human brain is designed like that. If you have no data or information related to your problem or are overloaded with lots of information, then it starts behaving like a complex and stressful situation.
So what you can do is my personal way to go through when I get into any this kind of situation in my life, and please note that its my way to go through, and always remember when you use my suggestion with your experience and getting into your situation. You can modify according to your needs, so always keep in mind solutions are always with you. So here I am just trying to give a way of how you can go through and look for it, so let’s start.
First Step
Become calm Just leave whatever you are doing; I am not saying leave totally if important; if not, then just make distance from your any type of mental work and just try to be calm, and then I do meditation. If you can do meditation, it will be best on this time period. So when I become clam and start feeling relaxed, then I start thinking about where my decision-making is becoming more complex. As I do, I can easily process and understand the situation, and then I make a plan and process what needs to be done.
Detachment
I try to detach from any kind of feeling and emotion from that particular event because if I do not, then it’s like it keeps repeating in my brain, so I try to detach as much as I can after taking all the information and making it past all the way. I do not leave any hope there to come again. As I do, I see there is less friction in my mind and I feel lighter, and then decision-making gets easy.
Pain Point
I try to break down all the issues that are creating that, and one by one, I go through each point and ask some possibilities and negative things about the point, and on negative, if I get a change to get one more negative, I add a question according to it and its apply in both possibility and negative view points, and then I create one view point. It always happens based on my question answers and information that I am getting from the situation if I have to look for any further information that needs searching. I do that, and when I have my final information, I try to break it into smaller steps. and I always keep this with me, for example, on paper or in my diary, till I complete the task or process.
Time Line
I set the plan on which what needs to be done; for example, I create a slot if a decision needs some more outcome from the situation, so I will like 1 first, and then I will wait for point 2 for information, and according to that, I adjust and make a time line for that, like an alarm for reminder when I have to see in the running process. This way, I keep in check and also start doing other things.
How should be
Again, what you are doing right now will have an impact on your future, so I always look for the distance between what or what can not be; if that happens, then what needs to be done; if this went wrong, what should I do and look into all possibilities and make a note of it; and if something goes wrong again, I no longer need to sit and think about it. I already have all the setup I follow, and if I need some adjustment, I always try to keep the long-term approach and view point. These are all I do for uncertainty because nobody knows what will happen next, so why not plan a head?
Intuition
One more thing I do is follow my intuition. I follow my intuition most of the time, and believe me, it gives me results and gives me one flow in life, which I cannot explain to you guys; it gives you a different level of feeling and freedom. Your intuition knows what you need, but the intuition is very littered in nature and comes with very possible doubts in your mind—no how that can happen and so on—but its your intuition taking to you and trying to give your direction as you start listening; believe me, your result will be magical. when you start listening and following
Final Thought
Making decisions in any complex situation can be so overwhelming, but when you do not get panicky and look for light within yourself, and when you need help, you look for one thing you never do in this process: close yourself. Open yourself as much as you can write, talk, read, and watch. Do whatever you can do. And then listen yourself.
