AT A GLANCE
At any given moment, our beliefs, focus, state of mind and body, and perceptions, determine our decisions. Our decisions determine our habits. Our habits reveal our identity and to a great extent, dictate our results and quality of life. How effective are you at making decisions that optimize your results in life and enable you to be better, and to explore your actual potential?
How much more delightful and meaningful could your moments be as you become a better decision maker? Think of the times in the past week that you have made a choice and taken action that, if you could do it over again, you would make a different choice. Can you think of any? While most of our daily decisions are made with little consciousness, especially the habitual ones, we make many decisions most days quite consciously.
When we decide to take more responsibility for our decision making, we begin to pay far more attention to what the basis is for each of our decisions. We also become increasingly capable and responsible in the areas that are most important to us and to our loved ones. This is a remarkably freeing process.
This Lab and the self-explorations within it will walk you through the process of how to take more ownership of your decisions and make them from a more informed and less biased perspective. It will result in you becoming a better decision maker and find yourself making better choices that are consistent with your priorities with relative ease.

HEALTH SCENE INVESTIGATION
- Will increasing your understanding of how you are currently making many of your decisions, and how to improve your process lead you to make better decisions?
- Where “better” means they result in choices that make a meaningful difference to the quality of your experiences, your vitality, well-being, relationships, creativity, productivity, and performance.
- How will becoming a better decision maker impact the results you are able to achieve and the quality of your life?
HYPOTHESIS
Your beliefs, focus, state of mind and body, and perceptions, determine your decisions. Your decisions decide your habits. Your habits define your identity and are primary determinants of the majority of your outcomes in life. Despite their importance, you are likely to be making many decisions based on states and biases that you are not even aware of. This Lab will improve your ability to manage your state more effectively, think more clearly and make your decisions based on the facts at hand, in light of clear intentions and personal priorities. Doing so in place of making them when in unresourceful states, and from biases that you have been conditioned to defer to, will result in changes in your life that would not otherwise be possible. The results will evolve your identity and improve the quality of your life in profound and deeply gratifying ways.
