Stress and Decision-Making
How Stress Clouds Judgment
Stress impairs decision-making by increasing anxiety and narrowing focus, leading to impulsive or poor choices. In the U.S., many individuals struggle with making clear decisions under pressure.
To improve decision-making under stress, it’s helpful to take breaks, practice mindfulness, and make decisions when you’re feeling calm and focused. Reducing stress allows you to think more clearly and make better choices.
