We’ve all made decisions in our lives, but I’m not sure we fully appreciate the process of deciding.

It’s my experience that decisions make us. It looks like we were the decider, but who we actually are is the reporter of a decision that has already been made by another part of us.

Did you ever notice that when you think things over, there comes a point where the thinking stops and a decision arrives? If you look at the process carefully, your decision was delivered to you, not chosen by your keen thinking apparatus.

Deciding is a feeling that shows up in final form as a thought. We decide with our feeling sense, not our thinking. Our feeling sense is ready to decide when it gets an OK or not OK feeling about something. It’s a relatively quick process. What delays our decision is our thinking. We often ignore our feelings and “decide” to think it over some more.

If you are someone who sits on the fence to the point of getting calluses on your coolie, you may want to consider streamlining the decision process.

It begins with fine tuning your awareness about your OK and not OK signals. Think of a time when you instantly knew that something wasn’t OK. Where did that feeling show up in your body? If you forgot, just go back to that time in your mind (daydream) and notice where that feeling registered. Was it in your throat, your chest, your belly or your bowels? You felt it somewhere.

Catalog that feeling and then think of another time when you knew something wasn’t OK and you’ll make an interesting discovery: That feeling will show up in the same spot. The next step is to locate where your OK feelings live by repeating the process. Think of a time when you instantly knew something was OK and find out where that feeling registers.

This isn’t a prescription for rash decisions; they’re totally thinking events. This is an exercise to find your decision barometer.

Deciding doesn’t take a lot of thought; we only think it does.

Decide to find your OK and not OK feelings and you’ll KO a lot of unnecessary thinking.

All the best,

John
