Ever had a problem making a decision because you just don’t know if it’s the \u2018right’ one? This simple method has served me well over the years: No matter what, you must FIRST make a decision, THEN check your feelings. Yes, yes, I know, you’re not sure about what decision to make and that’s why you hesitate. Yet go ahead anyways<\/strong> and make a firm<\/span> \u2018mental’<\/strong> decision. After<\/em> a firm decision, your feelings are much stronger and give the guidance you want. A salesperson comes to your door. After the sales pitch you’re still undecided. It sounds good, but… That’s exactly when you make a firm<\/strong> decision. “This product <\/em>is<\/em><\/strong> good for me.” <\/em>THEN check your feelings. If yes, act accordingly. If still unsure, try again a different way. “There <\/em>is<\/em><\/strong> something the salesperson is not saying.” <\/em>Yes! That’s it. Then ask the salesperson about that. The method is always the same but the firm decisions vary. “I <\/em>am<\/em><\/strong> going to the movies with him \/her next week.” <\/em>THEN check your feelings. “I <\/em>can<\/em><\/strong> trust him \/her.” <\/em>THEN check your feelings. “I <\/em>don’t<\/em><\/strong> need to do this extra work.” <\/em>THEN check your feelings. ————————– These are related:<\/strong> 3<\/strong> Cumulative Knowledge<\/a> – 11<\/strong> Feedback<\/a> – 17<\/strong> Impossible Decisions<\/a> – 24<\/strong> The Wedge<\/a> 35<\/strong> One + One = Two!<\/a> – 39<\/strong> Increasing Intuition<\/a> – 51<\/strong> Hindsight<\/a> – 57<\/strong> Helicopter<\/a> – 59<\/strong> Hesitation<\/a> 60<\/strong> Patterns<\/a> – 63<\/strong> Free Will<\/a> – 76<\/strong> Increasing Awareness<\/a> – 79<\/strong> Truth Time<\/a> 81<\/strong> Second Impressions<\/a> – 87<\/strong> Barriers<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
