You Make DECISIONS all the time

Decision as a Choice




A decision is a choice. A choice you make from two or more alternatives or possibilities. Learning to make your own decisions is an important task as adolescence.Minor decisions are easy to make and do not require much thought (i.e. What clothes to wear. What to eat for lunch). Some minor decisions are so routine that they become a habits. You ACT without even knowing you are making decisions.  Major decisions are harder to make. They require a lot of time and thought (i.e. for teens, whether to stay in school and or to use alcohol/drugs).



Consequences

Consequences are the result or effects of decisions. Don't make decisions blindfolded. Decisions also can be classified as short term, which means, that it don't affect you for a long time. Long terms choices affect your life long after they are made. When you face a difficult choice, you maybe tempted to avoid making decisions. Remember even deciding not to decide means you are making  a decision.

Deciding by default means you are leaving a decision to chance, deciding not to decide. Alternatives are possibility or choice. In decision making process, you choose from two or more alternatives. Procrastinate means to put off doing something that should be done right away.

Decision Making

Decision making process includes: defining the problem, examine the possible choices and the consequences of each choice, select the best choice, act on your decision and evaluate your decision.

Effective Decision

Making effective decisions includes the following: consider all your alternatives, try not to procrastinate, avoid being impulsive, think about hard decisions in advance, think creatively, reconsider your decisions if new information becomes available, accept responsibility for your decisions and seek help when you need it.

Conclusion:

We always face this kind of situation wherein we always need to make a decision in life. Whether it will be good or bad for us. But one thing is to be sure, whatever will be our decision we should always think the consequences or the outcome of it because we can't turn back after we had made already our decision.
