PRACTICE MINDFUL DECISION MAKING

Navigating Decisions with Awareness and Clarity

We've all been there—caught in a whirlwind of emotions, focusing on limiting beliefs, and reacting impulsively to a situation without fully considering the consequences. But what if you could pause, take a breath, focus on enabling beliefs, and choose a more intentional response? Try the ACT method, a simple yet powerful tool for cultivating a mindful and creative approach to decision-making.

Awareness: Recognize when you're reacting and pause to think.

  • Bring yourself back to the situation.
  • What are you feeling/thinking in this situation?
  • What story are you telling yourself right now?

Choice: Reflect thoughtfully and kindly without judging yourself, consciously choosing to change your thoughts and beliefs.

  • Take a moment to connect to your inner power.
  • Reflect on your thoughts and beliefs without judgment.
  • Question the validity of your limiting beliefs. Are they based on facts or assumptions? Are they serving you or holding you back? How can you shift them into enabling beliefs?
  • In what way can you change the story so that it serves you and the situation better?
  • What choices can you make now that bring you closer to what you want to accomplish?

Test: Put your new choice into practice and keep refining it as you go.

  • Translate your choice into an action.
  • When/where can you test your choice regarding impact/outcome?
  • Describe what success will look like for you.

Commit to using the ACT method the next time you find yourself reacting impulsively, especially when limiting beliefs arise. When you notice yourself reacting, pause, take a breath, and remember Awareness, Choice, Test. The more you use the ACT method, the easier it will become to break free from reactive patterns and limiting beliefs, leading to reduced stress and more empowered choices.
