At one stage or the other, every human being in this world would experience confusion while making decisions. The best solution to avoid confusion is to learn how to overcome it.
Know what you want
Being in a confused state is not a mistake at all. But persisting in that state for a prolonged time is a bigger mistake. Majority of people are curious to know about what others want in their lives. Instead, take time to realize what you want from your life. Don’t limit yourselves by seeing and hearing things which are immediately surrounding you. Understand that every human being is unique, and have different taste and style. If something hasn’t worked for your friends or family members, it is not certain that it won’t work for you. Asking suggestions from friends or relatives is a good idea; yet, your decision should satisfy you in 100 percent. All you need is to spend time with yourselves and find a solution to the problem rather than thinking about why the problem arrived. When you are clear with your needs and requirements in life, you won’t get confused when opportunities knock at your door.
Spend time with yourself
The easiest way to know what you want is by spending time alone with yourselves in a calm place. You can find such a place either in your home or at the corner of your street. Though human beings have 6 senses, sometimes we ignore them due to various distractions and disturbances at the same time. As we live in such situations everyday, we have practiced to ignore them without even realizing them. That’s why scholars, experienced people, religions etc., recommend the practice of meditation for everybody, irrespective of age and gender. In fact, one can practice meditation at anytime, anywhere and in any manner. All you need is to spend time in a calm place, so as to relax your mind and focus attention on your true purpose of living your life. Initially, everybody will be distracted by various thoughts. But, as you practice, you will master the art of meditation.
Know your problem
A confusion arrives when you don’t know what kind of problem you will face while making decisions. Analyze them thoroughly, but don’t let your fears to ruin your thoughts. Tell yourselves that for every problem there are infinite solutions. Finding one solution for them is not a big deal. In fact, when you find that one solution, you will be flooded with more and more solutions. In some situations you would be confused with a number of choices. The confusion aggravates further if you are allowed to choose only one option. In such cases, shortlist your choices and prioritize them accordingly. After prioritizing them, obviously you would know what to choose as your final decision.
Be positive
The reason for the state of confusion is the presence of negative thoughts in one’s mind. Having negative thoughts about something is not a big mistake; but, giving importance to them without concentrating on the positive effects of a deed is the most common blunder. Though people make this mistake knowingly or unknowingly, the results are same for everyone. Most people think that being positive is easy to say but difficult to follow. Initially one may find it difficult to be positive in all situations. But as you start following this principle, you will find it very easy than you would have imagined about it. There is a lot of difference between being positive and being over-confident. Make sure that you learn the difference between these two terms, because only a very thin line exists between them.
Trust yourself
Trusting yourselves is the most important part of dealing with confusions. When you are in a confused state, you will fear about the cause and effect of making wrong decisions. This situation happens when one doesn’t believe in himself/herself. In order to avert such critical situations, believe that you will be successful with whatever decisions you make. This might be hard to do at first, but as you practice facing your confusions with this state of mind, you will not only find it easier to take decisions, but also become successful in all your attempts. This technique works for anybody in this world despite their age, gender, location, color, creed, race, religion etc. As your decisions will affect people in your contact circles, when you make a successful decision, they will also become successful. In fact, they get inspired by your decisions which can make their own lives colorful.
