How to use "Indecisive" in context?
Whenever something comes up that we're uncertain about, we often end up resorting to verbal limbo. It's a repetitive conversation we have with ourselves in which we're mired in indecisive Thinking. It can be really tiring, so let's try and put an end to it.
There are three traps that often keep us listless and indecisive:
1. Learned helplessness: We become so used to not being able to effect change that we become passive. Decision making becomes impossible.
2. Minimization: We focus on the negative aspects of a situation and end up paralyzed.
