Second thoughts. It is a natural reaction to making a decision, especially if the choice was made quickly or without having all the information. It can be either a good or bad thing depending on the situation.

It is very common to have second thoughts when making a big or important decision because humans naturally question their own powers of reasoning thus it is not unusual to make a decision and then wonder if it was correct. Knowing when to pay attention to second thoughts is an important lesson to learn in life too. It is something one may never be able to master in life.

If you are having second thoughts, it is likely because you are afraid of a negative outcome. This can be a genuine concern, but it can also be simply panic and insecurity. You will never know the final outcome if you never give it a try. Sometimes there is no harm trying. One cannot predict the outcome based on their instinct. Take a deep breath or do something that relaxes you, and then ask yourself realistically how likely it is that disaster will strike. If it seems very likely, this may definitely be a time to do some serious thinking.

Talking to a trusted friend or mentor about your mental conflict may help you work out the best answer for you. A second or third opinion may give you new insight into the situation and help you focus in on your true feelings. But again, having too many opinions can stress out oneself unknowingly.

`There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
