 Making decisions is a part of life and you want to make sure you'll never regret it. Here, check out some tips I gathered from cosmopolitan.com.
1) Try sleeping on it--but only for one night. Ever wonder why people tell you to "sleep on it" when confronted with major dilemmas? Studies show that getting some sleep could aid you in evaluating your alternatives and come up with a decision. But don't linger on your choices for so long--for it may mean you're not comfy with the choices you got and you might need to try other options.
2) Ditch people who are pressuring you. Especially when confronted with making decisions, don't be a victim of being swayed by others who only got self-serving motives and not really after your best interests.

Be wary of those people (salespeople persuading you to buy high-priced items you can't afford) Try distancing yourself away from them. If not, act as if you're seeking advice for a friend to help you to act reasonably.
3) Discuss it with a select number of people. You may need the advice of others or whomever you trust to contribute their honest opinion for you know they have your best interests at heart. Hearing others' viewpoint may enlighten you especially on areas you have no expertise or experience.
4) But you don't have to talk it over with everyone. Seeking out too many opinions including people whom you barely knew could keep you hanging with several disharmonious or unnecessary advice which will only make you more confused.
If you think this person is not in a position to know what's best for you, better zip it and look for someone else who does. Check character references before seeking advice.
5) Wait till you're no longer stressed. Wait before you're no longer distressed or upset when asking decisions. When we act out of anxiety, we tend to make poor choices. That said, you may hold off getting a new haircut right after being fired.
