The Vedic Perspective on Decision-Making:
We tend to take decisions way too seriously. Usually because we’re afraid of getting it wrong or want to make the “perfect” choice. So we stall, get stuck, and feel stagnant.
We’ve all been at a dinner table when someone takes forever to order. It strains the environment and creates tension. The same thing happens in life when we are indecisive. Nature starts to scream: “Just choose something, anything!”
It’s actually better to make a decision and get real-life feedback than to stay frozen in overthinking. Decisions give us high-grade information based on experience. Overanalyzing before deciding gives us low-grade information based on speculation.
If we make the wrong choice, no problem, we can pivot, laugh it off, and try again. Forward movement is key. Action is always better than analysis paralysis.
When we have a practice like Vedic Meditation, our awareness refines, and we get better at following charm (the subtle pull of intuition guiding us toward evolution). Eventually, this mechanism becomes the ultimate decider. There is no more indecision because knowingness takes over.
