The Milkshake Decision

November 4, 2021 Marnie Hol

The sign said Chocolate, Vanilla, and Strawberry milkshakes. I thought I’d love a Strawberry milkshake and my mouth began to water just thinking about it as I stood in the lineup. Then someone walked by me with a Chocolate shake, and it looked so good I changed my mind. Next, I saw a Vanilla one and realized that is what I wanted. The lineup was moving slowly, and I kept waffling between what flavor of shake I would order. I couldn't believe it I was actually getting stressed out about what milkshake flavour to order the longer I tossed it around in my mind. It occurred to me how often a very simple decision can get blown out of proportion and take up way too much mental energy. After all, will I even remember this milkshake decision a week from now? Is this milkshake decision life changing? Of course not! Strawberry it is!
Memo to self: I will now become aware of the magnitude of a decision and categorize accordingly so I do not get mental overload over a simple decision! I’ll ask myself is this a milkshake decision?
