We don't ever know if we did the right thing until it is done. We can't dwell on the past, but we can try to correct our mistake by either try to solve the issue in another way or accept what it is and try to move on.

You could ask friends or family that you trust what they would do in that situation and if they feel you did the right thing.

You don’t feel any guilt or symptoms of regret, you don’t overthink the decision and it feels natural to do a certain thing , that can be a sign of doing the right thing.

In your heart to you believe you gave it your best shot at that time with the information available to you? If so then you did. Looking back we can judge ourselves and say "Oh i should have done this or not done that" but knowing you did your best at the time is all that matters. If you feel that you didn't do your best, forgive yourself! Mistakes teach us to be better.

That is a tricky question. The thing is, you won't know until you see the outcome.. as humans, we have 20/20 hindsight.. we learn from our mistakes, so you will know what to do through trial and error.

You will know if you’ve done the right thing you trust you’re instinct. But some things may be wrong and that’s okay we just need to try again and do it the right way. There is plenty of room for mistake:)

It is a gut feeling that you get. You will feel it and your body will tell you whether you made the right decision or not. Always trust your gut.

Our guy sometimes tells us that we have done the right thing and it's as simple as that, but if you're really questioning it, there may be a chance that you didn't. But in the long run, maybe you just need reassurance. Can you justify, with good reason, what you did?? Why did you do what you did? These are safe questions to ask yourself in this situation.

Right and wrong are just our own opinions and perceptions. If what you did is right it will instantly give you some sort of peace or satisfaction but if you overthink it and ask others repeatedly then the same thing can make you anxious and feel wrong so just trust your decision.
