Flip, flip, hooray

Got a big life decision to make? Toss a coin. It might just flip your life around for the better.

Don’t be scared to make a big life change – there’s a good chance you won’t regret it, even if you leave it up to a coin toss. In a large US study, people who made an important decision, such as switching jobs or ending a relationship, based on the flip of a coin were happier six months later than those whose results said to stay put. Why? Researchers say the coin toss represented something people were already craving (no one got a divorce if they were happily married!) and the heads/tails outcome gave them the push they needed

to step outside their comfort zone and make a move. Who dares, wins!
