I've made both good and bad decisions in my life time. In looking back I can honestly say many of the bad decisions where made when I was under pressure or feeling overwhelmed.
It's that react or respond thing. Taking the time to step back, take a deep breath and let the feeling of being overwhelmed leave you before making a decision can make a difference between a good decision and a bad decision.
My friend, Richard Flint, has some wise words on making decisions: Never make a decision when you feel overwhelmed. This is such an important thought! Every time you feel overwhelmed you are mentally weak and gathering emotions. This is the wrong time to make decisions. Any decision you make will be more emotionally charged than mentally thought-out. This means what you are doing is not a decision; it is an emotional reaction that will demand you come back and deal with it all over again. That will just steal more energy.
Remember, if you can't manage your pace, you can't control your life.
