There Can Be Too Many Options
Walking into a store with endless options can feel more overwhelming than exciting. Whether it’s choosing between hundreds of cookie brands or trying to pick the perfect color for a new wall, the sheer number of choices can lead to decision paralysis. This phenomenon is known as “choice overload.” When faced with too many options, our brains struggle to make a decision, often leading to frustration or avoidance.
The best way to overcome this is to limit your choices to just two or three. Whether you’re picking shoes, paint colors, or even what to eat for dinner, narrowing down your options will make the process faster and less stressful.
