Second Guessing

Psychology researchers have found that second-guessing one’s decisions can lead to unhappiness. Some people, called maximizers in the psychology world, obsess over decisions big and small, and then fret about their choices later.
A better strategy for happiness: Make your choice and be done with it. Being able to make a decision and then live with it allows us to let go of a lot of worry and grief. When you find yourself second-guessing a recent decision, remember that there are pluses and minuses to every option, and the downsides you might be experiencing now are likely no harder to cope with than the ones you’d be dealing with had you made a different decision.
