Have you ever taken the time to realize that when we make decisions, and we take certain steps for those decisions? Most likely you don’t even realize that you are doing it as it has become part of your everyday decision-making routine. The first step we take is generally called “set or revise goals”. In this step, we view the goal that we want to achieve, and we plan for that goal. In example of this would be wanting to lose weight, and we decide from that moment that we are going to watch what we eat and set an exercise regimen to obtain that goal of losing weight.

The next step one would take to complete or obtain that goal would be gather information. During this step, we take any information we can from different workouts, or gather information on diet that we feel might be best, certain foods that might help pre workout and post workout for recovery. Gathering information could be viewed as the most important step of the decision-making process, as without this step, you don’t have enough information to make a well-informed decision. Another step that is part of the process is make plans. During this process, we understand the goal, but we have made a plan to obtain that goal. This could be a certain time you plan on eating, or a certain schedule that you are following when it comes to working out whether that is morning or night, or cardio and strength training. Once you have made plans and gathered information, you can structure the decision based on the information you have and make the final selection that you know after having knowledge of how to obtain your goal, you have gone through the correct steps of how we make decisions and how we can process the information.
