Demonstrate Self-Confidence by Learning How to Identify Your Decision Making Natural Preference

Change your decision making process and change your life. We all have done it at least once in our life, made a bad decision. Well, the past is history and cannot be changed; however, we can affect our present and subsequently make a positive impact on our future. How do you prefer to make decisions – in an objective, logical, and rational manner or are your decisions subjective based on your own personal value system. If you use the former method, you use the Thinking mode of decision making and the latter is the Feeling mode.

What mode do you use to make decisions pertaining to your relationships, occupation, and or spending habits? Personality Theorist Carl Jung contends, “people have the capability to make decision based on two very different sets of criteria: Thinking and Feeling. When someone makes a decision that is based on logic and reason, they are operating in the Thinking mode. When someone makes a decision that is based on their value system, or what they believe to be right, they are operating in the Feeling mode.” We all use both modes to make decisions; we have a natural preference to rely on one more than the other. Some of the most difficult decision we make are the ones that conflict with both of our modes of decision making. In those cases our dominate mode takes over. The easy decisions and the ones we feel good about are those that agree with both our Feeling and Thinking modes.

Demonstrate self-confidence by learning how to identify your natural preference you use to make decisions. An individual who uses the Feeling mode to make decisions will use their own set of rules or personal morals and value system when trying to decide a matter. A “Feeler” is more sensitive to others feelings and will avoid sharing information that could be upsetting. They are more of a spontaneous shopper their purchases may be just because they like an item or because it is on sale. They may not accept a job offer because they do not like the work environment. On the other hand, a person who uses the Thinking decision making mode will be logical, rational, and impartial. Their decisions will be based on what they believe to be fair and correct. This is based on a pre-defined set of rules for behavior. A “Thinker” is more objective in their decision making process. They are the type that will do the necessary product research for the best product purchase. They are not usually spontaneous shopper if they do not need an item they are not going to purchase it, sale or no sale. Typically, they will not consider their feelings and may not consider the other person’s feeling when making a decision. Whatever, the guideline states that is what it is, how they feel about it is not important. They are going to do the “Right Thing” whether they agree with it or not. If they are not careful some of their behavior can be seen as insensitive.

Demonstrate self-confidence by learning how to identify your natural preference you use to make decisions. Are they based on your own set of personal rules or do you make decisions based on a pre-define set of rules of behavior. Reflect on where you are at this point of your life and determine whether you are pleased with your current state. I say this because where you are at this present moment in time is a result of the decisions you have made throughout your life. If you are not pleased with your current life situation, then you may need to change or adjust your mode of decision making.

I said it before but it bears repeating, if you are not happy with the results you are receiving than you may need to change or adjustments your decision making mode. If you are a people pleaser but no one is trying to please you than you may want to be a little more rational, objective, and logical when deciding how to interact within your relationships.
