"Learning To Not Be Angry": 39 People Share The Best Decisions In Their Life One day when I was 14, I checked the mail when I got home from school. My mom had a habit of throwing away anything addressed to me and saying it was junk mail.

But this day I got to the mail first and found a flyer for a summer camp (free!) at a local college. I never would have known about it otherwise.

At that camp, I learned about a public school that was residential (and free!) for math and science focused students. The Catholic school I was attending at the time worked hard to keep students from finding out about this place.

I found out about the school with only a few months to spare in order to submit my application. And I got in.

That school changed my life. It got me out of a deeply toxic household, connected me with treatment for my depression, and set me up for college in a way I never otherwise could have accessed.

I was a first generation college student, but that school connected me to scholarships, introduced me to faculty, and gave me lab work skills all before I graduated high school. I went to undergrad and grad school on a full ride and I’m a college professor now.

And I never would have gone down this path at all, but for checking the mail that day.

I am so glad for the OP! It is the worst thing when a child who is dependent on his parents can't get out of the toxic household and get help.

Various sources suggest that the average adult makes between 33,000 and 35,000 decisions each day—an astonishing number that’s akin to the seats in a sports stadium. Now, imagine processing all that in just 24 hours!

That figure might sound unrealistic, even silly, but the truth is that many of these choices happen automatically, driven by the information we’ve subconsciously stored about what is “good” or “bad.” Gerald Zaltman, a professor at Harvard Business School, notes that 95% of our cognition occurs in the subconscious mind. This is essential; our brains would overload if we had to evaluate over 30,000 decisions individually.

However, when it comes to more intentional decisions—like applying for a new job, entering a relationship, or moving to a different city—these choices demand significantly more mental effort. The more we deliberate, the more we may hesitate.

People who've never had a pet as an adult can underestimate how much a cat or dog can help your emotional and mental state. I'm disabled and live alone. My cat is my companion. To paraphrase Oscar Wilde "A pet provides you with company without depriving you of solitude."

"Learning To Not Be Angry": 39 People Share The Best Decisions In Their Life My mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer while I was in the midst of the busiest time of my career, working for a company that demanded long hours and had peak 2010s 'hustle culture' vibes.

From the moment of her diagnosis, I immediately told my company they were taking the backseat and her health and spending time with her was my only priority, and I wouldn't waver on it.

What followed was a heartbreaking, frustrating, and upsetting time where her health rapidly deteriorated. But the time allowed her and I to have conversations and moments that are among the most beautiful moments of my life.

I helped her through anguishing pain and reciprocated a small amount of the love and sacrifice she gave to me when she was a single mother raising me.

In the end, my employer was fine. My job was safe. My career endured. My mom passed away eight weeks after we learned about that stupid disease.

The only solace was that I decided to spend as much time as possible with her and actually did it.

So, how can we improve our ability to make decisions that feel like they could alter the course of our lives?

To gain some insight, Bored Panda reached out to spiritual career coach Rebecca Kirk, author of You’re Here for a Reason.

“By learning to listen to our intuitive voice—often felt as a gut feeling, an excited wave of energy, or sometimes just a faint whisper,” Kirk explains.

“But it’s not only about listening to that voice,” she insists. “It’s also about having the courage to act on it, especially when it doesn’t make total sense to your logical mind. There are signals within your body that, when connected with, can save you from overthinking.”

When contemplating a decision, our intuition often surfaces first, only to be followed by our logical mind, which can sometimes talk us out of it. “I see this with my coaching clients considering a career change. They might have a sense of a more fulfilling path, but fear of potential pitfalls takes over, leading them to dismiss it,” Kirk says.

"Learning To Not Be Angry": 39 People Share The Best Decisions In Their Life I’m not entirely sober, but I’ve gone from drinking a few nights a week to drinking a few nights a month, and aiming to decrease that as well to just social occasions.

And I’ve also been drinking less on the evening I do drink. It’s been a good change.

Oh, I feel this one. I've wasted years of my life trying to live by my former church's norms. Until I realized the priests were just enabling domestic violence and abuse towards women and children. That I, as a woman, must accept to be humiliated, insulted, screamed at, left behind, and work like a slave for "my man", because this was God's will. Thanks, but no thanks.

There is a huge difference between faith and religion. Faith can bring peace and hope, as it should. Any religion has been adapted to some person's "vision". Huge coincidence that all the "visions" have one thing in common...you will burn in eternal Hellfire if you don't do as I say and give me money. I have tried many of the Christian churches, and have found this to be all so true, and not for me. Even Jesus was apalled by the priests and activities in the Temple.

People think that the Bible says: (Follow all of these rules or burn for all of eternity!) When in reality it says this instead: (I know you can't follow all these rules, that's why I sent Jesus. Trust in Him, repent of your sins, turn from your old ways and ask for forgiveness. It's okay if you stumble, no one is perfect- just be sincere and do your best.) The Romans Road is how you get to heaven- Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, Romans 5:8, Romans 10:13, Romans 10:9. (I had to put things in prenthesis to seperate my sentences)

All religion is just mythology. The fact that people allow a pastor or a priest to dictate what they can and cannot do is insane. When I was much younger I had a co-worker who was super religious, I am an open atheist, she knew my position, I knew hers. We got along pretty well and one day she mentioned that her pastor was, in her view, God's representative, here to advise her on life. After a brief chat to clarify what she meant by that I asked "If the pastor said that God reckons you should jump off the Royal Gorge Bridge, what would you do?" She said she'd jump and we could find her in the Arkansas River, that it would be God's will and therefore correct. I hate to admit this but I lost respect for her due to that kind of thing. It's just super toxic, IMHO.

I believe and love God but I don't like how some people use religion to control and manipulate people supposedly on God's will. God will never approve killings and general abuse of people and brain washing. To me, nature is God's home, not churches.

Religion has never been the problem, the problem as any problem that has afflicted humanity since the dawn of time is as always humans themselves. The angry man believes the righteousness of God allows him to be cruel, the lustful man believes the grace of God allows him to be unfaithful...I bet every man caught in sin can find a verse to justify or mitigate their behaviour by bastardizing the original works. I don't know about many religions but mine isn't that complex: Love, love God, love others and love yourself...but humans are very good at weoponizing deep things to suite their purpose....you hear so many "love your neighbour" but rarely do you hear it in completion "As you love yourself" meaning self love is the prerequisite of loving others but people will skip that entirely because it rarely fits their agenda. So religion isn't a drain on society, people are.

Intuition can indeed be elusive. Many people argue it pales in comparison to the tangible weight of facts.

“I believe both intuition and facts are crucial and each has its place in decision-making,” Kirk states. “However, society has placed too much emphasis on facts, causing us to disconnect from one of our greatest gifts—our innate intuition.”

“Sometimes, facts can only take us so far. I love this quote by Einstein, which captures the relationship between the two: ‘The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.’ Once we’ve listened to our intuition, we can then call on logic to help us implement our decisions.”

ADVERTISEMENT

To amplify that internal voice and shed light on our uncertainties, Kirk recommends stepping back from the decision-making process for a while.

“Get outside, meditate, and create space for the answers to emerge,” she suggests. “Also, reflect on what might be holding you back. Is there an underlying fear, like the fear of making a mistake or worrying about others’ opinions regarding your heartfelt choices?”

“Trust in your ability to handle whatever comes your way. There’s no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ decision—only opportunities for growth and evolution,” Kirk adds. “Consider that the consequences of indecision might actually be worse than those of making a choice! It can leave us in a stagnant state, draining our time, energy, and mental space from something more productive.”

"Learning To Not Be Angry": 39 People Share The Best Decisions In Their Life When I was a freshman in college a friend of mine from high school who was going to the same college set me up for a date at a dance with one of her sorority sisters. Date went great and I really liked this girl. She called me about a week later to arrange to give me a copy of the photo we had taken together at the dance. This was way before smartphones and messaging. We talked for a good hour about various things and I kept trying to work in asking her out for another date, but I chickened out. Once we hung up I hit my head hard with the phone receiver several times, swearing at myself, and I immediately called her back and asked her if she wanted to go out to dinner and a movie that Friday and she said yes. That was in early 1997 and we’re still happily married. She’s also still hot, so bonus points for me!

I couldn’t agree with this more. I left an extremely toxic, emotionally and verbally abusive marriage. I know my children are far better off growing up in two separate households and not the same household I grew up in. Both myself and my children are in such a better place now. Financially, things can still get strained from time to time, but that’s a small price to pay to get out of that terrible situation.

From Wikipedia: "Schema therapy was developed by Jeffrey E. Young for use in treatment of personality disorders and chronic DSM Axis I disorders, such as when patients fail to respond or relapse after having been through other therapies (for example, traditional cognitive behavioral therapy). Schema therapy is an integrative psychotherapy combining theory and techniques from previously existing therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy, psychoanalytic object relations theory, attachment theory, and Gestalt therapy."

I haven't lived a long time but till now. But the best decision i made was stop watching porn. I realised how much energy and time i was wasting all for a pleasure that lasts mere minutes.

Going to college. While I haven't gotten a job remotely even close to the fields I went for, and now have a seemingly insurmountable amount of crippling and stress inducing debt, I met my best friend there. And because I did that, I moved to his state to be his roommate. And because of that, I eventually met the woman who is now my wife.

Having a bidet has saved us so much money on toilet paper and wet wipes. While I still buy TP, its maybe once a month at most, and we only need wet wipes for when we go travelling.

I made sure my sons knew that these exist so they won’t have to suffer with cotton like we did.

For those of us with different nethers, could you explain what the problem was? Sweaty balls? Or something else? I have a little boy and I would like to be prepared for the future!
