Stop making choices based on how bad you think things will be. Expect things to go right or things to mess up-and you will generally get what you wish for. Trust yourself more and you will make better choices. If it doesnвЂ™t feel right- it probably isnвЂ™t right. There are usually clues around you warning you when things might not be right-just look for them. In these times, you need to get through the emotion and approach your decision with your intellect and common sense working for you-not emotions working against you. People do NOT make good decisions when they are sad. But NOT when making a choice that could change your life. Emotional and impulsive usually go hand in hand. Very few big, important decisions have to be made right in the minute. And they were ego-driven-more than brain-driven. Most bad choices are made quickly without much time, effort, or serious thought. STOP and think for just a minute (or a day) before you rush into making decisions. Trust your intuition and make decisions based on good research and people you respect for all the right reasons. You usually know who really has your back. Most bad choices occur because we listened to bad advice and CHOOSE to ignore the good advice. Quit refusing to listen to good advice.Then make choices that align with those beliefs. Raise your standards and require more-of yourself and others. That mindset will always prove to be true-if you think it then it will happen. Stop thinking that you canвЂ™t have what you want. What are your non-negotiables? What is important to you? And then go after it. Settling is unsettling to the rest of your life. Date this person because I might not find anyone else. I will take this job because I may not get a better offer. Be confident that you have the right to get your needs met and you will make better choices. There are lots of people who want your choices to be about THEM instead of about YOU. If your mindset is that you have to always please everyone and get everyoneвЂ™s approval, then you will often make decisions that are not in your own best interest. Sometimes making good choices means you have to put yourself first. Take charge and determine your own path and you will make better choices. Excuses keep you from being accountable for your own actions and the consequences that follow.

They put the blame elsewhere and take away your power to make good choices for yourself. Excuses totally take you away from what you need to face in order to be better. Making all your choices based on the way things used to be will keep you from creating a new future and determining for yourself what is yet to come. Because they will only set you up to accept and expect more negative. If you want to successfully move into the future, you must reconcile the negative memories in your past. The truth may hurt but you canвЂ™t make good choices without it. If you canвЂ™t realistically look at your life, then ask a good friend to be up front with you. The results will never be what you need them to be to move ahead successfully. Making choices based on what you wish would happen or should happen or might happen is not a good foundation for decision-making. Too many people live in an вЂњif onlyвЂќ or вЂњI wishвЂќ fantasy world-and not in the reality of what is actually going on at this moment! Be honest with yourself. If youвЂ™re ready to start making BETTER choices, letвЂ™s take a look at the top 15 things to quit starting today. Hopefully as we get older (and sometimes wiser) though, we figure out that we can do better than that. By Motivational Keynote Speaker and Human Behavior Expert Connie PodestaД«ad choices? Sure, we all make them.
