Why do I make a decision and then doubt it?
Why do I make a decision and then doubt it?
Doubt after a choice is often the loss of the other option, not evidence that you chose badly. Keep the review date. Do not hold a second trial every night.
What may actually be happening
Your mind treats an open choice as safer than a closed one, because an open choice cannot be regretted yet. The moment you choose, the unchosen life becomes glossy.
What you can do
Write why you chose, in the words you used on the day, not the words fear prefers now. Check only for a new fact. If there is none, return to the next action inside the choice.
What not to do
Do not poll a new friend every evening until one of them disagrees with you. Do not punish yourself for a normal aftertaste.
Try this today
Put the decision sentence where you will see it tomorrow morning. Under it, write the single task that belongs to it. Do the task before you reopen the case.
