Step 1
Advice is what you seek when you know the answer but you wish you didn’t.
All of you have choices when taking decisions.
And one of those choices is our preferred one.
We know of it.
If we were to toss a coin, we would find ourselves wishing for that option’s side to show up.
So stop lying and identify the choice that you wish to go for
Step 2
Humans tend to overestimate the pain we feel and underestimate the happiness we experience
Once you have identified the choice, imagine yourself going for the choice
And imagine the worst case scenario once you have taken the choice
The worst possible scenario that you could find yourself in
Step 3
Getting comfortable with your loss is far more valuable than getting excited about your gains
See if you can make yourself comfortable with the worst case scenario
Do not try to mitigate it. That destroys the logic.
Instead assume the worst will happen and then see how would you feel, how would you react
If you find yourself ok with this scenario, go for it.
Else, the other option it is.
As humans, we tend to calm down a lot more if we are aware of the worst, than if we dream about the best!
