The indecision

The indecision is closely related with the maintenance of some obsessions in our psyche.
When a change appears, we must adapt ourselves immediately to it; when a disturbing element starts to manifest, it must be eliminated as soon as possible if we don’t want to increase more the damages made by it in the system.

The more undetermined we are, the more we lengthen the period of reaction, of restoration of the destroyed harmony and in this way we increase the disharmony.

So the state specific to the indecision and the hesitation is a signal of alarm, too, a specific form of the psychical suffering.

It appears only when we hesitate to take the decision of acting while the disturbing elements continue their destruction; it also appears when the action is absolutely necessary but we don’t perform it (for e.g. someone hits us with a stick and we still hesitate if to defend ourselves or not, in the conditions in which we could make this thing if we wanted to).

Indecision, as an alarm signal, indicates to us that in that moment we have in our psyche one or more wrong judgments characterized by different false expectations specific to the obsession; in fact we expect that someone else to perform the actions which can be made only by us or we expect that all our actions to lead to a greater harmony; indecision may also appear from the fear of not making any mistakes.

Observation: we don’t have to hurry up in making some choices; a careful prediction and analysis of the actions are absolutely necessary; but we can’t stay away of the mistakes every time.

Anyway what’s really important is to learn something from these mistakes and not to make them again.

In order to reduce the period of indetermination and indecision (and thus the period of time in which the signal of psychical suffering corresponding to them manifests) it’s necessary a deep and aware analysis; this analysis must be started exactly in the moment when the indecision appears in order to identify the correct information we need for taking a correct decision (whose purpose is the harmony).

Indecision and hesitation with their corresponding obsessions can last more if we continue to postpone the analysis of the element, state or situation about which we have to take a decision.

But attention: this postponement doesn’t solve the problem, but only delays it , making longer the psychical suffering characteristic to the state of hesitation (agitation, anxiety, stress, etc.) which accompanies the wrong judgments; they prevent us of a conscious analysis and makes us to postpone the restoring of the harmony.
