                                                       When it comes to making a decision, there is always some force that help us to take decisions, sometimes the decision will be in our favor and sometimes it is not. Here we discuss about some of those forces that makes us to choose or to take decisions.

1  .     Safer choice                                       

2  .     Time of Decision    

3  .     Environment

4  .     Mood at that time

5  .     Willing power

•        Safer choice:  

When we have more than one choice and have to decide

from these number of choices, we start suffering from “choice overload” we start opting the easiest choice, so the best and the easy decision we take is that have the safe and the simple one. It’s a human tendency to select the easy option rather than going to the tough one. The more decisions we make, the more tired our brain gets, leading us to either give less thought to our decisions or choose lower-risk, “Safe” options simply avoid the effort of making a difficult decision.

•        Time of Decision:

The time of day will also affect our brain’s decision making process. In the morning time the capacity to make decisions is higher than in afternoon and night.

This is because in the morning time Serotonin is at its natural high, which help to calm our brain. This is a good thing because we feel less risk average in the morning because of the serotonin in our brains, that’s why we can take risk and harder decisions in the early morning.

                                       Later when the time passes, at the afternoon Serotonin start to decrease and due to this we are at the position where we don’t want to take decision at all. So, if we want to make an important decision afterwards then it’s important to give our brain a little rest because “Decision Fatigue” is difficult to fix without giving the brain a proper rest.

•       Environment:

The environment where we are living and taking decisions is also very important. As we know air pollution is very bad. A study found that increase level of carbon-di-oxide decrease our cognitive ability. The higher the carbon-di-oxide in the room, the more sharply our mental abilities decline and its effects our decision making.

                                       The best way to get rid of this situation is to having plant in the office and houses because they decrease the CO2 level. Along with plant a good ventilation is also very important for fresh air Thus we can say that environment and the atmosphere around us has a major impact on our decision making.That's why living in Healthy environment is very necessary to calm our brain down.

•       Mood at that time:

Mood of a person is also very important while one take any decision and it is a very important force. Person's mental condition affect the choice of decision. Human can have so many moods, sometimes he is happy another time he is sad or irritated. And often we seen that the worst decision made by an individual is when he is sad or frustrated or going through a stress phase. So, it’s very much important that the choices which we made are at that time when our mind is free of negative thoughts and mental condition is good.

                                                 So we can say that mood of a person at the time of taking any decision is very important because it can affect the future of ours. The decision we make today is somehow for the sake of our future. Thus be cool minded while taking any decision.

                                             

•     willing power or Desire:

Willing power or we can say Desire for something that we want is also one of the Force that affect our decision making. People often attracts easily with fancy thing or gadgets or what is good for their eye. So, the desire to get the thing whether it is off their budget or in future it affect them financially. Desire for something is the root cause of most of the bad decisions that somebody takes.

                                            Desire is not overall a bad thing but if we want something which affect us financially so it’s better to make a proper plan and discuss with the people who are related to that decision. Don’t make a quick decision on something. Be proper consulted on your choice.

These are some Major forces that affect our decision. Furthermore, there are some other forces too that affect our decision like Emotions, Feeling for someone, under someone’s control etc. As Decisions are the most important and vital part of an individual life so it’s very necessary that we take them in a positive manner, have an open mind while taking those decisions. Try to make decisions at the time when you are free from stress and other negative thoughts.

                                                                
                                                                       Judgement and Action is very important force of decision making. AS the saying was “Think before you Act” so, all we have to do is to keep calm our mind and have a little time before decide anything. And at the end of the day what so ever decision you take will be good and worth value
