You Are Not Alone – Why Am I Indecisive?

Indecision is something almost everyone has experienced at one time or another. It is estimated that approximately 20% of people say they are habitually indecisive. Extreme indecision is closely related with rumination and procrastination, which also affect nearly everyone at times.

People of all backgrounds can experience habitual indecision. Both men and women, and people of any age or demographic background may struggle with indecision.

Most people who struggle with habitual indecision want to make decisions quickly and easily and they know that over-evaluating options isn’t helpful, but they get caught up in their own rumination and anticipated regret in a way that feels beyond their control. Struggling to make decisions does not mean you are an inherently indecisive person; it simply means you are caught up in a lot of thinking.

Indecision can lead to anxiety, worry, regret, and procrastination, and is sometimes related to a general tendency to overthink things and perfectionism.

The No-Willpower Approach

What Can I Do About It? – How to make decisions

If people seek treatment, it’s typically for issues related to indecision like anxiety, rumination, or low mood related to regret and inaction. Traditional treatment most often includes cognitive therapy and in some cases, medication; however, traditional treatment for these issues is not nearly as effective as we’d wish it to be. There is no clear or simple answer as to why people are indecisive.

Thankfully, there are newer, less traditional approaches that are incredibly effective. The No-Willpower Approach that I outline in my bestselling book, The Little Book of Big Change: The No-Willpower Approach to Breaking Any Habit has helped countless people find lasting freedom from overthinking and indecision.

The No-Willpower Approach is an insight-based approach that helps you see yourself and your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a radically new way. By seeing how your mind works and what indecision is, you can more easily move forward even when your mind is overthinking your options.

Indecision Is A Changeable Habit

Although many people struggle with this habit, indecision is very changeable. You do not need to “cope” with, or “manage” indecision long-term and you are not an inherently indecisive person. No matter how long or how often you’ve had trouble taking action and making decisions, there is enormous hope for complete freedom from this habit.

Indecision appears to be about making decisions on the surface, but it’s truly about a few simple misunderstandings about how our thoughts, feelings, and habits work. Freedom comes from the inside-out, from seeing yourself, your thoughts and feelings, and what indecision is in a brand new way.

Indecision Is A Changeable Habit

Hi, I’m Amy

I struggled with anxiety, overthinking, and other habits for several years. I was told by many well-meaning professionals that I would likely struggle with this forever; that I could learn to cope, but that this habit might always come back when I was feeling stressed or overwhelmed.

Thankfully, nothing could be further from the truth today. I have been completely free of my over-ing habits and anxiety for 10 years with no effort or coping necessary. In that time, I’ve shared what helped me find freedom with people all over the world in my books, videos, online school, and my podcast, Changeable.

I’ve trained over 70 coaches to be experts in the no-willpower paradigm through my Change Coach Training Program. I’ve been a regularly featured expert on The Steve Harvey Show and Oprah.com, as well as in The Wall Street Journal and Self magazine.
