Decisions are such an important tool for me to integrate unpleasant emotions. I know that my anxiety is always telling me to make up my mind and change something that is currently not in line with my core beliefs and values. The problem with humans and their constant trying to anticipate the future is that we give so much power to our rational thinking, believing that it is the only intelligence we have. In anxiety patients this is taken to the extreme and anxiety turns into OCD. I believe that heuristics in combination with gut feeling and an 80/20 analytical approach yield the best outcome. Decisions can never be right or wrong and we will only see the result when we have finally decided to go down that road.
