Sound Decision-Making
One of the important life skills is decision-making. Decision-making is choosing
between two or more choices or options. You always need to make decisions
every day. Hence, it is important to know how to make a sound one.

Here are the steps in making a sound decision.

1) Identify the problem. It is important to know what is your problem so
that you would understand the source and the reasons of your problem.
2) Identify your choices or options with the relevant information. What
are the options or choices you have with your identified problem
and the possible result of each choice/option? What information can help
you decide on this?
3) Evaluate and choose an option. What do you think and feel is the best
among the choices or options?
4) Ask for help. Think of a person whom you can ask for help whenever you
face problems or someone who can guide in doing it like your
 Guidance Counselor. It is important to ask for help or guidance from
your trusted persons so that you can see how others view your problem.
You can also gain new ideas or perspective when you do that. It could be
your parents, older brother or sister or relatives, older friends, teachers, or
your guidance counselor.
5) Make a decision. After considering important factors, it is time to make
or come up with a decision about what to do with your problem. If you
think that your decision is good and you are satisfied with what you have
decided, then go ahead and do it.

On the other hand, if you are still confused and you think you are not confident
with it then go back to step one until you can decide what is best for you.

Take note that in your daily life, from the time you wake up to the time you lay
down to sleep at night, you are making decisions. Even the easy question like
what you will wear or what to eat is a decision to make. We make choices every
day, but in the process of making decisions in our daily routine, it is but natural
that we tend to make bad choices that sometimes lead to some consequences.
Thus, decision-making skill is essential in our daily lives.

Remember this:
 Every day you make decisions, throughout your life decision-making is
required to be successful in life.
 Before making a decision, make sure you have weighed all possible
consequences so that you can come up with a wise decision.
 Do not be afraid to commit mistakes. If you chose an unsound decision,
learn from it and move on. Remember, you are a work in progress. Trust
in the process but most importantly, trust yourself.
 Respect the decisions of other people. Accept their views, opinions, and
thoughts even if you do not agree with them. Remember everyone is
entitled to their own opinion.
